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 :
Marco Antonio Firebaugh (October 13, 1966 – March 21, 2006) authored AB 540 which allows undocumented youth to pay in-state tuition as opposed to international fees if they meet specific criteria.

Thanks for the info.

Once you're there, maybe you can PRESSURE LEGISLATORS TO GIVE DREAMERS A DRIVERS LICENSE AND/OR WORK PERMIT LIKE IN UTAH.

Does this apply to people who graduated from college?

no it doesn't

Only Cal Grants, the best part of the bill, won't. The bill also mandates that the state provide other forms for other types of aid. The question is whether those other types of aid will be as good as Cal Grants.
