California Dream Loan

A Californian Dream Loan is for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. The interest rate corresponds with the interest rate on the Federal Direct Subsidized loans and is subject to change for new loans annually. The CA Dream Loan does not accrue interest while you are enrolled at least half-time, during periods of approved deferment, and during the 6-month grace period before you enter repayment. You will be responsible for the interest charged at all other times. For more information on the CA Dream Loan please see California Dream Act (AB540)
