Postsec. | From bill summary: Enacts the California Dream Act of 2010. As of July 1, 2011, exempts a person who has attended, for 3 or more years, at least one of which shall have been in a high school, and graduated from, high school in California from paying nonresident tuition at the California Community Colleges and the California State University. Provides that persons attending and graduating from California technical schools and adult schools, as well as high schools, are included within the scope of this provision.
As of July 1, 2011, requires the trustees of the California State University and the board of governors of the California Community Colleges, and requests the regents of the University of California, to establish
procedures and forms that enable persons who are exempt from paying nonresident tuition under the aforementioned provision, or who meet equivalent requirements adopted by the regents, to apply for, and participate in, all student aid programs administered by these segments to the full extent permitted by federal law. Provides exceptions. Specifies this provision applies to the University of California only if the regents, by appropriate resolution, act to make it applicable. Provides that if a state court finds that this provision, or a similar provision adopted by the regents, is unlawful, the same limitations described
above would apply.
Further provides that, on and after January 1, 2011, a student attending the California State University, the California Community Colleges, or the University of California who is exempt from paying nonresident tuition under the provision described above would be eligible to receive a scholarship derived from nonstate funds received, for the purpose of scholarships, by the segment at which he or she is a student.
Finds and declares that the amendments described above are state laws, to come into compliance with federal law, which requires that a state may provide that an alien who is not lawfully present in the U.S. is eligible for any state or local public benefit for which that alien would otherwise be ineligible under a specified federal law only through enactment of a state law that affirmatively provides for that eligibility.
Requires community college districts to waive the fees of persons who are exempt from nonresident tuition under the aforementioned provisions and who otherwise qualify for a waiver under this provision, under regulations and procedures adopted by the board of governors.
From last bill analysis: This bill is an effort to expand the availability of financial aid to those UC, SCU, and CCC students eligible for nonresident tuition status under AB 540. These students are typically aliens without lawful immigration status or United States citizens or permanent residents who are residents of another state and would be ineligible for state-administered or campus-based financial aid programs without the provisions of AB 540.

Directs the student aid commission to establish procedures and forms that enable persons eligible for resident tuition to apply for, and participate in, all student financial aid programs administered by the state.

Postsec. | Under the Act, if a designated scholar declines a scholarship, a high school must designate as alternate scholars any seniors with the same GPA as the scholar or, if there is no other student with the same GPA, any remaining seniors with the next highest GPA, but not less than 3.800 or the equivalent. Prior to enactment of the Act, if a high school did weight its courses for purposes of determining GPAs, and no other student had the same GPA as the original scholar, the school could designate as an alternate scholar the student with the next highest GPA. However, if a high school did not weigh its courses, an alternate scholar was required to have the same GPA as the original scholar.
If a student is awarded a scholarship, is enrolled full time in a participating institution of higher education, and maintains at least a 3.000 GPA, they are eligible for a scholarship in the subsequent year. The Act specifies that if the student does not enroll in a participating institution of higher education in the subsequent year, they are eligible for the scholarship in the second year
following the year in which they previously received the scholarship.
