California Laws Passed on Community Colleges and Financial Aid
Last Sunday, two important bills were signed in California regarding higher education. The two bills signed by Gov. Jerry Brown were Senate Bill 850 and Senate Bill 1210.
After the approval of Senate Bill 850, some of California’s community colleges will be able to give out bachelor’s degrees to their students. The program for 4-year degrees from community colleges is intended to start during the 2017-18 academic year.
Through Senate Bill 1210, the California Dream Loan program will be able to give low-interest loans to undocumented students who cannot access federal loans.
