What SB 1006 does, verified May 16, 2026

This bill amends the student financial aid system in California. It aims to increase the access costs award under the Cal Grant B program, starting from the 2027-28 award year. The new award amount will be the maximum per-student amount provided in the 2025-26 award year. Additionally, the award amount will be increased annually by the percentage increase in the California Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers. This change will provide more financial assistance to students attending qualifying postsecondary educational institutions in California.
