This fact sheet discusses student financial aid in California postsecondary education. It indicates California student financial aid is increasing significantly: (1) in 2002-03, California students received over $8 billion in financial aid; (2) financial aid funding increased by over 30%, from $5.9 billion in 1998-99 to $8.1 billion in 2002-03; (3) over half of all financial aid comes from the federal government in the form of loans; (4) the Cal Grant Program accounts for about 7% of total funding; and (5) institutional support totals almost three times the level of funding for the Cal Grant Program.
This paper compares student fee levels near the time of adoption of the Masterplan in 1969 with 2004. Changes in the level and use of student fees include the following: (1) California public universities have increased student fees dramatically over the past 15 years--still, they are among the lowest when compared with other states; (2) California Community College fees have increased very modestly and remain much lower than any other state; and (3) public university students are funding an increasingly larger proportion of the cost of their instruction--23% at the California State University and 30% at the University of California.
