Summary

The bill adds a new requirement that any public post‑secondary school wishing to participate in the Cal Grant program must create a cost‑of‑attendance (COA) policy and an adjustment process that follows federal guidelines. Schools must have these policies in place by the start of the 2027‑28 academic year and make them publicly available. This aims to ensure students receive aid that matches their true expenses.
