LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 291, as amended, Leyva. Postsecondary education: California Community College Student Financial Aid Program.Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law establishes community college districts throughout the state, and authorizes them to provide instruction at the campuses they operate and maintain.Existing law establishes the California College Promise, under the administration of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, to provide funding, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to each community college meeting prescribed requirements. Existing law authorizes a community college to use that funding to waive some or all of the fees for one academic year for certain first-time students who are enrolled in 12 or more semester units or the equivalent at the college and complete and submit either a Free Application for Federal Student Aid or a California Dream Act application.The bill would establish the California Community College Student Financial Aid Program, to provide need-based grant awards to eligible community college students who attend a California community college voluntarily designated by its district governing board to participate in the program, as specified. Subject to an appropriation by the Legislature, the bill specifies that the program shall be administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges and implemented by the eligible California community colleges.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:(a) (1) On July 17, 2017, the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges accepted a strategic vision report titled Vision for Success which includes, a comprehensive vision for change, framed as a set of seven commitments that taken together can move the college system in the right direction to collectively reach our goals and a call to action, asking the entire community of CCC stakeholders to join in this Vision for Success.(2) The document further states: Californias community colleges offer one of the least expensive tuition rates in the country. Still, the total amount of money spent by students and taxpayers to attain a particular outcome at a community college can be quite high because the average student takes several years to complete a credential, degree, or transfer and commonly accumulate [sic] many excess units along the way. Another significant problem for students is the high cost of living in California and the limits of financial aid for CCC students. While about half of CCC students have their tuition waived, few qualify for financial aid to cover their living expenses such as transportation and textbooks. Approximately 46 percent of CCC students receive need-based financial aid, compared to about two-thirds of resident undergraduate students at UC and CSU. One reason for this is that many state and federal student aid programs are structured to help full-time students and many community college students attend part time. In addition, Californias Cal Grant Program is less generous to CCC students, irrespective of full- or part-time status. Examining college costs around the state, The Institute for College Access and Success (TICAS) found that after factoring in financial aid, the net cost of community college was actually more expensive for students than UC or CSU in seven of the nine regions studied. Nowhere was the CCC found to be the least expensive option.(b) (1) During deliberations on the 201718 budget package, legislative intent sought to have the California Student Aid Commission review California financial aid programs and report to the relevant budget subcommittees and policy committees of the Legislature on options to consolidate existing programs that serve similar student populations in order to lower students total cost of college attendance, including tuition and fees, books and supplies, transportation, and room and board.(2) The California Student Aid Commission approved recommended policy changes from a commissioned report, dated April 4, 2018, by The Century Foundation titled Expanding Opportunity, Reducing Debt, which includes the following excerpts:(A) Frequently, and especially at public institutions, students greatest needs are not related to tuition, but instead are generated by other expenses, such as books, food, housing, and transportation. The bulk of CSAC aid, however, is linked simply to tuition prices, without taking into consideration the full set of expenses students face in order to commit themselves to their studies. At the same time, the current Cal Grant includes a patchwork of grant types (A, B, C, and both entitlement and competitive grants) with a variety of eligibility requirements that create complexities for students, CSAC, and schools. The resulting aid system is too difficult to understand, and in some cases, creates cliff effects for students and families, or fails to reach students who have significant need.(B) Community colleges enroll more low-income Pell Grant recipients than do CSU, UC, and Californias nonprofit colleges combined. Yet CSACs aid programs currently provide little support to community college students, and the community colleges lack the means to generate institutional aid in the way that UC and CSU do.(c) In a higher education analysis dated February 15, 2018, the Legislative Analysts Office stated, We recommend the Legislature take a more straightforward approachconsolidating all four existing state financial aid programs for financially needy CCC students into one program with one set of rules. Under the new program, financially needy students would receive a grant for living costs that covered all their unmet need after taking into account their expected family contribution, federal aid, and a reasonable work expectation.SEC. 2.

40-The people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:(a) (1) On July 17, 2017, the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges accepted a strategic vision report titled Vision for Success which includes, a comprehensive vision for change, framed as a set of seven commitments that taken together can move the college system in the right direction to collectively reach our goals and a call to action, asking the entire community of CCC stakeholders to join in this Vision for Success.(2) The document further states: Californias community colleges offer one of the least expensive tuition rates in the country. Still, the total amount of money spent by students and taxpayers to attain a particular outcome at a community college can be quite high because the average student takes several years to complete a credential, degree, or transfer and commonly accumulate [sic] many excess units along the way. Another significant problem for students is the high cost of living in California and the limits of financial aid for CCC students. While about half of CCC students have their tuition waived, few qualify for financial aid to cover their living expenses such as transportation and textbooks. Approximately 46 percent of CCC students receive need-based financial aid, compared to about two-thirds of resident undergraduate students at UC and CSU. One reason for this is that many state and federal student aid programs are structured to help full-time students and many community college students attend part time. In addition, Californias Cal Grant Program is less generous to CCC students, irrespective of full- or part-time status. Examining college costs around the state, The Institute for College Access and Success (TICAS) found that after factoring in financial aid, the net cost of community college was actually more expensive for students than UC or CSU in seven of the nine regions studied. Nowhere was the CCC found to be the least expensive option.(b) (1) During deliberations on the 201718 budget package, legislative intent sought to have the California Student Aid Commission review California financial aid programs and report to the relevant budget subcommittees and policy committees of the Legislature on options to consolidate existing programs that serve similar student populations in order to lower students total cost of college attendance, including tuition and fees, books and supplies, transportation, and room and board.(2) The California Student Aid Commission approved recommended policy changes from a commissioned report, dated April 4, 2018, by The Century Foundation titled Expanding Opportunity, Reducing Debt, which includes the following excerpts:(A) Frequently, and especially at public institutions, students greatest needs are not related to tuition, but instead are generated by other expenses, such as books, food, housing, and transportation. The bulk of CSAC aid, however, is linked simply to tuition prices, without taking into consideration the full set of expenses students face in order to commit themselves to their studies. At the same time, the current Cal Grant includes a patchwork of grant types (A, B, C, and both entitlement and competitive grants) with a variety of eligibility requirements that create complexities for students, CSAC, and schools. The resulting aid system is too difficult to understand, and in some cases, creates cliff effects for students and families, or fails to reach students who have significant need.(B) Community colleges enroll more low-income Pell Grant recipients than do CSU, UC, and Californias nonprofit colleges combined. Yet CSACs aid programs currently provide little support to community college students, and the community colleges lack the means to generate institutional aid in the way that UC and CSU do.(c) In a higher education analysis dated February 15, 2018, the Legislative Analysts Office stated, We recommend the Legislature take a more straightforward approachconsolidating all four existing state financial aid programs for financially needy CCC students into one program with one set of rules. Under the new program, financially needy students would receive a grant for living costs that covered all their unmet need after taking into account their expected family contribution, federal aid, and a reasonable work expectation.SEC. 2.

At the same time, the current Cal Grant includes a patchwork of grant types (A, B, C, and both entitlement and competitive grants) with a variety of eligibility requirements that create complexities for students, CSAC, and schools. The resulting aid system is too difficult to understand, and in some cases, creates cliff effects for students and families, or fails to reach students who have significant need.

6463 (B) Community colleges enroll more low-income Pell Grant recipients than do CSU, UC, and Californias nonprofit colleges combined. Yet CSACs aid programs currently provide little support to community college students, and the community colleges lack the means to generate institutional aid in the way that UC and CSU do.

6665 (c) In a higher education analysis dated February 15, 2018, the Legislative Analysts Office stated, We recommend the Legislature take a more straightforward approachconsolidating all four existing state financial aid programs for financially needy CCC students into one program with one set of rules. Under the new program, financially needy students would receive a grant for living costs that covered all their unmet need after taking into account their expected family contribution, federal aid, and a reasonable work expectation.
