Debt-Free College: California’s On The Verge Of Spending Over $600M To Help College Students - Mikhail Zinshteyn, LAist

If that money appears in the state’s budget this June, an anticipated 246,000 California State University students and 114,000 University of California students will receive grants ranging on average between $1,000 and just over $3,000 to help finance their educations starting this fall. Students at other California campuses, including community colleges, are ineligible. The money will have an immediate impact on low- and middle-class students whose families generally earn less than $201,000 a year. Students in higher-income households will typically get the larger amounts to make up for the lack of aid they receive from other state and federal grants.
