(The Center Square) – Several new efforts to help California’s military families and veterans are ramping up as resources provided by the federal government dry up because of the federal government shutdown.
Two pieces of legislation that passed this year, Assembly Bill 88 and Senate Bill 67, expanded access for high school students who are children of active duty service members to be able to get Cal Grants and scholarship money from the state’s Middle Class Scholarship program. These are for students whose parents still maintain a primary residential address in California while serving out a tour of duty overseas.
