This state-funded program helps undergraduates and students pursuing teaching credentials pay for their higher education. It is designed for students attending a University of California, California State University, or California Community College bachelor's degree program. The award amount is determined using a formula that considers the total cost of attendance at the chosen school alongside other available financial aid, a standard self-help student contribution, and a parent contribution for dependent students from qualifying household income levels. This ensures that assistance is targeted toward families who need support covering educational costs.
