Dream Act (AB540)

DACA is back! On Friday, December 4, 2020, a federal judge ruled in favor of DACA recipients and ordered the government to fully restore the original DACA program. If you have never had DACA and are eligible, now is the time to apply. Here are the most important things you need to know:

The Counseling Center is here to provide information and academic counseling to new and continuing undocumented students at Clovis Community College.

The California Dream Act is actually 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.

Combined, these Assembly Bills constitute what is called the California Dream Act, and they allow undocumented AB 540 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 state-sponsored Cal Grants.

Learn more about the California Dream Act.

To speak with a counselor, contact Carla Stoner-Brito or Nancy Chavero.
