A California state senator reintroduced a bill that would allow children of undocumented immigrants who have attended three or more years of high school in California to receive certain types of financial aid to attend colleges and universities.
The bill, known as the DREAM Act, was brought back to the California Legislature by Gilbert Cedillo, D-Los Angeles. The bill would permit students to receive State University grants, University of California grants, scholarships and certain types of loans. It would not allow them to compete for Cal Grants or apply for federal aid. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Senate Appropriations Committee. “*
