"For every $1 invested in the #CalGrantEquityFramework the state will benefit $26 from that investment in 5 years," says @castudentaid Executive Director @M_LGarcia. We must simplify #CalGrant and remove barriers to financial aid - now is the time to act for students @CAgovernor

Thank you @AsmCervantes and @CaWomensCaucus for supporting the Cal Grant Equity framework making college affordable for all students in CA! 60% of all Cal Grants go to women struggling most to recover from the pandemic. @castudentaid @CollegeOpp @FixFinancialAid @letsunitela
Sen. Sabrina Cervantes@SenCervantes2 Jun 2022
I, along with several members of the @CaWomensCaucus, support including the Cal Grant Equity Framework in our state budget. This Cal Grant reform will make state financial aid available to an additional 150,000 students, including women students & student-parents! #AD60 (1/x)

"Directing state resources to students attending CA public universities who have the greatest financial need should be and must be a priority for California leaders," said @SenatorLeyva, Chair of the Senate Education Cmte, on the #CalGrantEquityFramework. youtube.com/watch?v=LWMWOrTA…

“The reality is college is ever expensive, and it’s not just the tuition, it’s the nontuition costs.” says #AB1746 author @KevinMcCartyCA. The #CalGrantEquityFramework is the answer to a more affordable California education. Read more by @edsource: bit.ly/3l5Zn86

Advocates of major changes to Cal Grant look to Newsom

After California Gov. Gavin Newsom last fall vetoed an overhaul of the state's main financial aid program, advocates for change are hopeful he will support their proposals this year.

#CalGrant is the nation’s largest state financial aid system, yet it is overly complex, insufficient, and outdated. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom must sign #AB1456 to expand financial aid access and meet the needs of students today. @AsmJoseMedina @AsmKevinMcCarty

2021-22 budget investments are the most extensive in Cal Grant program in decades, but to promise affordable, accessible, and equitable opportunity to all eligible students we have more work to do. @GavinNewsom sign #AB1456 #FixFinancialAid #CAStudentsSpeak #SupportCAStudents

I am pleased that one of our major bills, #AB1456 has passed out of the Legislature! I am proud of the Senate and the Assembly for making #financialaidreform and #collegeaffordability a legislative and #budget priority. There is consensus that we need to #CalGrantReform now.

Students have faced unexpected hurdles on their path to a college education throughout this pandemic & have shown us that their talent and capacity to succeed will not be impeded. We owe it to them to ensure that the transfer system we have in place has the capacity to serve them

The legislative plan on financial aid is historic in its commitment to funding students, & we appreciate these efforts. However, we remain committed to the equity framework in AB 1456 for structural reform & funding @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @PhilTing @NancySkinnerCA @CAgovernor

It is necessary for the governor and legislature to not only invest in financial aid reform and AB 1456, but also to maintain this investment in years to come. #FixFinancialAid #CoverCollegeCosts #CAStudentsSpeak @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @PhilTing @NancySkinnerCA @CAgovernor
