Starting Jan. 1, 2025, AB 3158 will simplify the process for getting free tuition: Students will only need to provide their address and fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the California DREAM Act application to qualify.
This bill will streamline the process, making free education a reality and empowering our staff to focus on what they do best: nurturing the minds and talents of our students, Davis said in a press release.
Cade Story-Yetto, chief of staff for the chancellor's office, said the new legislation will benefit students across both West Valley College in Saratoga and Mission College in Santa Clara, which have a combined enrollment of 15,000.
This bill also grants our district the flexibility to update our internal policies in administering the waiver program, enabling us to streamline the process for students however needed, Story-Yetto said.
