Existing law establishes the Student Aid Commission as the primary state agency for the administration of state-authorized student financial aid programs available to students attending all segments of postsecondary education. Under existing law, the commission, among other things, administers the Cal Grant Program, the Student Opportunity and Access Program, the Assumption Program of Loans for Education, the Graduate Assumption Program of Loans for Education, the Public Interest Attorney Loan Repayment Program, and the California State Work-Study Program. This bill, subject to an appropriation of moneys by the Legislature, would establish a program, the Golden State Teacher Grant Program, under the administration of the commission to provide a grant to each student enrolled in an approved teacher credentialing program who commits to working in a high-need field, as defined, for 4 years after he or she receives a preliminary teaching credential. The bill would require a grant recipient to agree to repay the grant to the state in specified circumstances.
