California is considering a $75 million competitive grant program aimed at supporting underserved Black and African American students, along with other disadvantaged student groups, under a new proposal introduced in the state Assembly this week.
On Tuesday, Assemblymember Mike Gipson introduced Assembly Bill 335, which seeks to establish the Designation of California Black-Serving Institutions Grant Program. This initiative builds upon Senate Bill 1348, which was signed into law in the fall and created a new designation for California colleges and universities that demonstrate excellence in serving Black students.
