AB540 students will qualify thanks to Obama

11-22-11

Finally! undocumented students in California will now be able to attend a College or University without having to pay the full amount. This students who are undocumented are referred to as AB540 students. This comes after the "Dream Act" was finally passed by president Obama.Obama however wanted the bill to pass months ago, but it didn't get enough votes. This time around, the votes were not short and for Obama, this might be a plus for him as the 2012 elections draw closer. The Dream Act will allow those undocumented students the to obtain student loans and grants from the government. I think this will help California tremendously! More undocumented students will now have the urge to get passed 12th grade in High School knowing that they can further their education. This bill however, will take effect in 2013. So more waiting for AB540 students, but this it definitely a positive for the better for California.
