Higher Education
Other Budget Reductions

The proposed Budget reflects a reduction of $57.4 million resulting from a proposal to eliminate new awards for the Cal Grant Competitive program. Renewal awards would not be affected. This policy change is necessary to help contain the costs of government at this critical time. Federal Pell grants are scheduled to increase substantially over the next few years and will help to mitigate the phase-out of this program for eligible students.
