| Budget Issue: | Decentralize Cal Grant delivery |
| Program: | Student Aid Commission |
| Finding or Recommendation: | Recommend the Legislature enact legislation to decentralize Cal Grants. We offer several specific recommendations to improve student-centered delivery of state financial aid at the campus level; reduce duplication of functions between campuses, system offices, and the state; and improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of the state's financial aid enterprise. |
