The California Dream Act is a combination of three bills, Assembly Bill (AB) 540, AB 130 and AB 131.
Together, these bills allow undocumented and nonresident documented students who meet certain provisions to be treated the same as resident students.
Together these are called the California Dream Act and they allow these students to pay the resident fees at public colleges and universities, apply for and receive private scholarships funded through public universities, state-administered financial aid, university grants, community college fee waivers and Cal Grants.
