The University of California applauds the announcement today (Sept. 13) that the Mission Asset Fund, with support from the Weingart Foundation, will provide $500,000 in grants to cover the cost of renewing the applications of UC, California State University and California community college students under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The University of California today (Sept. 12) issued a statement thanking Gov. Jerry Brown and the California Legislature for providing an additional $1 million in funding for UC’s Dream Loan Program. 

Mission Asset Fund has made $500,000 available to help those whose DACA permit expires before March 5, 2018 to renew. We strongly encourage you to do so by Oct. 3, 2017. Although the University has filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the Trump administration’s decision to end DACA, that does not change our advice. It’s the best way to ensure two more years of protection against deportation.

The University of California today (Sept. 12) sent a letter to the UC community containing guidance for students and other community members who are in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The letter, signed by UC President Janet Napolitano and all 10 UC chancellors, strongly urges DACA recipients whose permits are set to expire between Sept. 5, 2017 and March 5, 2018, to apply for a two-year renewal. Applications for renewal must be completed by October 5, 2017.

University of California Board of Regents Chair George Kieffer, Vice Chair John A. Pérez, and Chair of the Public Engagement and Development Committee Monica Lozano issued the a statement today (September 5) in response to President Trump effectively ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Two freshmen realize they have a connection that goes back a generation.

Awardees from each of the 10 campuses will work to promote healthier communities via tobacco control.
