Summary
Existing law establishes various student financial aid programs under the administration of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility requirements for the recipients of awards under those programs by participating students attending qualifying institutions. This bill would require the commission, by the 2017–18 academic year, to report to the Legislature and the Governor on specified measures to increase student participation in state and federal financial aid programs, including at least one measure to encourage and support California high school pupils in completing and submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
