加州梦想法案助学申请开放：无证与混合身份家庭学生可申州助学金
在美国加利福尼亚州，没有合法身份、却一样要上大学的学生，有一条专门的助学通道已经开启：2027-28学年的加州梦想法案申请（California Dream Act Application, CADAA）已于10月1日开放，优先截止日期为2027年3月2日，由加州学生援助委员会（CSAC）受理。
据加州学生援助委员会介绍，CADAA面向无证学生、持U签证或临时保护身份（TPS）的学生、符合加州非居民学费豁免（AB 540）资格的学生，以及来自混合身份家庭的学生。通过这份申请，学生可以申请加州助学金（Cal Grant）、中产阶级奖学金（Middle Class Scholarship）、Chafee助学金、加州大学与加州州立大学的校内助学金，以及社区学院学费减免等多项州级与校级援助。
申请节奏上有两个关键点：其一，申请Cal Grant的学生除提交CADAA外，还须由学校在2027年3月2日前向委员会提交GPA验证表；其二，社区学院学生的优先截止日期较晚，为2027年9月2日。符合联邦助学资格的学生则应填写FAFSA（联邦学生援助免费申请），两份表格只需填其一。
委员会提醒，CADAA每年都要重新申请，受理网站为 dream.csac.ca.gov，学生支持热线为 1-888-224-7268。尽早提交，可以确保在名额与资金分配时不被落下。（来源：加州学生援助委员会）
California Dream Act Application Open: State Aid Available to Undocumented and Mixed-Status Students
For California students who lack legal status but are headed to college all the same, a dedicated financial-aid channel is open. The California Dream Act Application (CADAA) for the 2027-28 academic year opened on Oct. 1, 2026, with a priority deadline of March 2, 2027, administered by the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC).
According to CSAC, CADAA serves undocumented students, students with U visas or Temporary Protected Status, students who meet California's nonresident tuition exemption (AB 540), and students from mixed-status families. Through this single application, students can be considered for Cal Grants, the Middle Class Scholarship, Chafee grants, University of California and California State University grants, and community college fee waivers, among other state and campus aid.
Two dates matter most: students applying for a Cal Grant must also have their school submit a GPA verification form to CSAC by March 2, 2027, and community college students have a later priority deadline of Sept. 2, 2027. Students eligible for federal aid should file the FAFSA instead; only one of the two forms is needed.
CSAC notes that CADAA must be renewed every year. Applications are filed at dream.csac.ca.gov, and the commission's student support line is 1-888-224-7268. Filing early keeps students in line when aid is awarded. (Source: California Student Aid Commission)
