New bid launched for college aid to undocumented students

A new push to allow longtime California residents who are undocumented immigrants to receive college financial assistance was launched today by a Los Angeles lawmaker.

Assemblyman Gil Cedillo is counting on new Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat heavily supported by Latino voters last year, to be more receptive to the issue than former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican who vetoed similar measures last year.

Cedillo's bills would apply to undocumented immigrants who have attended California high schools, adult schools or technical schools for three years or more, graduated or attained an equivalent degree from them, and filed an application to legalize their status.

Cedillo's Assembly Bill 130 would make such students eligible to apply for financial aid from a pool of money that is private but administered by state colleges and universities.

AB 130 also would allow community colleges to waive fees for low-income undocumented immigrants who meet the bill's residency, attendance and other requirements.

Cedillo's companion measure, Assembly Bill 131, would allow such students to compete for taxpayer-funded financial aid, such as Cal Grants.
