Summary

SB 67 adds a new category of eligibility to the Cal Grant Middle‑Class Scholarship, allowing children of active‑duty military members who are stationed abroad but whose parent’s legal residence remains California to qualify for aid. It also establishes audit, reporting, and income‑asset limits for these awards and links the changes to related legislation. The goal is to ensure military families can access state college financial aid.
