According to source, A bill that would grant undocumented California students access to financial aid is being revived in the state Legislature this week.

The California Dream Act would allow students who are illegal immigrants to benefit from the same financial aid as other California students attending the state’s public colleges and universities.

Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, introduced the bill Tuesday based on one he first proposed as a state senator in 2006. The previous version passed in the state Senate and Assembly but was vetoed three times by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, who said it was too costly given the state’s precarious finances.
Supporters hope they will have better luck now that Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, is in office.

“He did say before November, before the election, he would sign it,” said Cedillo spokesman Conrado Terrazas. “We are hoping that he will follow through.”

Cedillo this year is splitting his proposal into two bills, one of which he said “will not cost one cent to the state of California.” That bill, Assembly bill 130, would make students who are illegal immigrants eligible for the community colleges’ Board of Governors fee waiver and other student aid programs administered by the public institutions they attend. Since the aid packages come out of a private pool, making more students eligible does not increase the cost to the state, Cedillo said.

allow undocumented students, if they are California residents, to apply for Cal Grants, a state-funded program that gives low-income students as much as $4,370 a year if they enroll in the California State University system or up to $11,124 a year in the University of California system. That would cost the state money.
The move comes a day after Brown announced $12.5 billion in planned budget cuts, including about $1.4 billion in cuts to higher education.

Republican state lawmakers have not seen the bill yet but are likely to oppose it, as they have in the past, said Jann Taber, spokeswoman for state Senate GOP Minority Leader Bob Dutton of Rancho Cucamonga.

“The main reason is that it takes sparse resources away from legal California residents,” Taber said.

It is unclear how many undocumented immigrants attend California colleges and universities, but 42,000 students last year took advantage of a 2001 state law that allows California residents born elsewhere to pay in-state tuition, regardless of immigration status. In the UC and Cal State systems, the vast majority of those students are legal residents, but at least 30,000 undocumented students attend California’s community colleges.

LOS ANGELES — Officials at California State University, Los Angeles, have apologized to about 500 students who mistakenly received letters saying they’d been academically disqualified from returning for the winter quarter.

University officials tell the Los Angeles Times that all of the students were on academic probation, but only 164 students should have received disqualification letters.

The letters were sent out by the registrar’s office the week of Dec. 27. The students were told their fall 2010 grade point averages and overall GPAs fell below university standards for continued enrollment. Students were also told they could submit a petition to be reinstated after meeting with their academic adviser.

The mix-up was blamed on a mailing code error.
