Summary

The Cal Grant Program establishes Cal Grant C awards, which may be used only for institutional fees, and other costs, as specified, for occupational or technical training in a course of not less than 4 months, under the administration of the Student Aid Commission. The program requires the commission to give priority in granting Cal Grant C awards to students pursuing occupational or technical training in areas that meet at least 2 criteria. This bill, among other things, would (1) rename these awards the Competitive Cal Grant C awards, (2) set the maximum Competitive Cal Grant C award amount at $2,462 for tuition and fees and $547 for certain other costs, (3) establish an additional Competitive Cal Grant C award in an annual amount not to exceed $2,462 for community college students for occupational and technical training to cover access costs, training-related costs, and tuition and fees, and (4) establish a Cal Grant C Entitlement award for access costs for community college students who are enrolled in a for-credit certificate or credential instructional program that is less than one academic year in length and that is an occupational or technical training program identified by the commission, as specified.
