Quotes from Current Students:

"This bill would be a huge step towards realizing the California Master Plan for Education and would greatly increase the accessibility and affordability of higher education for all Californians," said Claudia Magaña, University of California Student Association President & UCSC student.

"UC students that receive financial aid, like myself, are in desperate need of further assistance. With the rising cost of tuition, fees, housing and books, this proposal will make college an attainable goal for thousands of students that would not have been able to achieve it otherwise," says Joelle Gamble, UCLA Undergraduate Student Association Vice President of External Affairs and UCLA student.

"The middle-class scholarship plan would preserve college affordability at a time when students need it the most." - Sean Richards, Vice President of the California State Student Association and Student at Sonoma State University student.

"We commend the speaker on this innovative bill that invests in the accessibility and equity in our community college system! Strategically, this bill gives local control to districts to address community-specific issues. It will encourage our districts to connect with their communities on a deeper level to address obstacles preventing students from pursuing and continuing a higher education." - Emily Kinner, President of the California Community College Association of Student Trustees & De Anza College student.
