Statement on the May Revision to the 2010‑11 Governor’s Budget
"After repeated attempts to eliminate the competitive Cal Grants, we are pleased that the Governor has recognized their importance and today proposed to preserve all Cal Grants in 2010-11. These grants help high-achieving, low-income students enroll in college, earn certificates and degrees, and help meet the state’s need for an educated workforce.”
