California National Guard Education Assistance Award Program.

Existing law establishes various award programs under the administration of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility requirements for the receipt of awards under those programs for participating students attending qualifying institutions. This bill, until January 1, 2016, would establish the California National Guard Education Assistance Award Program on behalf of qualifying members of the California National Guard, the State Military Reserve, and the Naval Militia under the administration of the commission. The commission would be required to report annually to the Legislature regarding program participation. The bill would require the Legislative Analyst, on or before January 1, 2014, to prepare and submit to the Legislature a report on the program.
