AI Summary

This bill extends Cal Grant and Middle Class Scholarship Program (MCSP) eligibility to students who were not California residents at the time of high school graduation, but are dependents of U.S. Armed Forces members stationed outside of California, provided the service member maintains California as their legal residence. Specifically, the bill allows dependent natural or adopted children, stepchildren, or spouses of active-duty military personnel to qualify for these financial aid programs if they meet all other existing eligibility requirements. This change aims to support military families by ensuring that dependents of service members are not penalized for living outside of California due to military assignments. The bill makes technical amendments to several sections of the Education Code to implement this expansion of financial aid eligibility, including updating language around residency requirements and ensuring these students can access Cal Grants and the Middle Class Scholarship Program on the same terms as other California students.
