California SB1006 modifies Cal Grant B access costs awards for students, adjusting award amounts annually and prioritizing students with the lowest.

California SB1006 amends the Education Code to revise the criteria for Cal Grant B access costs awards. It mandates regulations to prioritize students with the lowest expected family contribution and highest academic merit. Starting from the 2027-28 award year, awards will be adjusted annually based on the California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The maximum per-student award amount will be $1,600, adjusted for inflation. Awards are intended for tuition, fees, and access costs in a one-year or longer for-credit instructional program.
