Delivering on the California Dream

“First-time college students like Sandy are exactly whom Governor Gavin Newsom seeks to support in his recently proposed budget, which would provide significant funding increases to community colleges. The governor’s proposal allocates $40 million to the California College Promise, a statewide program which provides funding to improve college readiness, increase completion rates, and close achievement gaps at community colleges. That $40 million would extend the California College Promise to a second year of tuition-free college for all first-time, full-time students.”
