Notes:
Data reflect California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) estimates. Some categories do not sum to totals because of rounding.
The reduction in new awards in 2022-23 is related to implementation of the CCC Expanded Entitlement program. In 2021-22, the state created this program and gave new awards to qualifying students across across all educational levels. Beginning in 2022-23, new awards are needed only for new applicants, as other students receive renewal awards.
