An act relating to public postsecondary education.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 3086, as introduced, Bonta. Postsecondary education: student financial aid: scholarship displacement.

Existing law establishes the University of California, the California State University, and the California Community Colleges as the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law establishes various programs, both public and private, that provide financial aid for, among others, students attending the campuses of the public postsecondary education segments.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact later legislation that would create an equity-focused college affordability equation by revising the calculation of the real cost of college attendance to raise the ceiling on that amount and by restricting the practice of scholarship displacement, as defined, by public postsecondary educational institutions.

Bill Text

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

 It is the intent of the Legislature to enact later legislation that would create an equity-focused college affordability equation by revising the calculation of the real cost of college attendance to raise the ceiling on that amount and by restricting the practice of scholarship displacement by public postsecondary educational institutions. For purposes of this section, “scholarship displacement” occurs when a student receives a scholarship from a private source and then the institution to be attended by the student reduces the amount of financial aid the student was to receive by some amount due to the private scholarship.
