Bill overview
This bill updates the California Cal Grant Program to ensure that colleges accurately estimate and adjust the cost of attendance (COA) for students. It requires institutions to develop and implement a COA policy aligned with federal standards, reflecting expenses like tuition, housing, books, and transportation. The goal is to ensure students receive financial aid that truly covers their educational costs and reduces the burden of debt.
