Dear Neighbor,
Paying for college can be challenging, but the Cal Grant can help California families afford college.
The Cal Grant is a need-based state financial aid program that has been a big part of making college affordable for many California families. The financial eligibility requirements can be met by many typical California families. Qualified students can receive up to $12,630 in funding to attend almost any college in California - awards vary depending on economic need, grades and the college you attend. Don't delay! The deadline to apply is March 2.
Additionally, we passed AB 19 in 2017, creating the California Community College Promise Program to provide tuition-free education at a Community College for one academic year for all first-time, full-time students.

Sincerely,
Bill Dodd
Senator, 3rd District
