On July 25, Governor Brown and Assemblyman Cedillo celebrated the signature of the CA Dream Act, but we all know that only half of the CA Dream Act was signed. AB 130 will only provide more private scholarships, but the real help for most of our CA Dreamers is in AB 131.

AB131 includes:
-Board of Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver
-Institutional Student Aid: Student aid program administered by the
attending college or university (i.e.State University Grant, UC Grant)
-Competitive Cal Grants after all California resident students receive theirs.

AB 131 is the most important bill. It is the real CA Dream Act! It is time for all us to join together and demand the right to equal educational opportunities.

History on Marco Antonio Firebaugh High School :
