(b) The regulations adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall provide that the services withheld may be provided during a period when the facts are in dispute or when the student or former student demonstrates to either the Trustees of the California State University or the Regents of the University of California, as applicable, that reasonable progress has been made to repay the loan or that there exists a reasonable justification for the delay as determined by the institution. The regulations shall specify the services to be withheld from the student, which may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) The provision of grades.
(2) The provision of transcripts.
(3) The provision of diplomas.
(c) “Default,” for purposes of this section, means the failure of a borrower to make an installment payment when due, or to meet other terms of the promissory note if the institution holding the loan finds it reasonable to conclude that the borrower no longer intends to honor the obligation to repay, provided that this failure persists for 180 days for a loan repayable in monthly installments, or 240 days for a loan repayable in less frequent installments.
(d) This section does not impose any requirement upon the University of California unless the Regents of the University of California, by resolution, makes this section applicable.

70046. The Legislature finds and declares both of the following:
(a) As of 2020, California students who have financial need and receive private scholarships are unable to make full use of the awards provided to them by private scholarship providers because institutions of higher education reduce their gift aid, grants, scholarships, tuition waivers, and fellowship stipends that those students would otherwise be qualified to receive. The reduction of an institution’s financial aid due to private scholarships is referred to as “scholarship displacement.”
(b) This act is intended to ensure that private scholarships supplement, and do not supplant, gift aid, grants, scholarships, tuition waivers, and fellowship stipends provided by institutions of higher education to California students who have financial need.

70047. As used in this article, unless the context requires otherwise, the following definitions apply:

Sec. 1070 et seq.).
(c) “Expected family contribution” means a student’s expected family contribution calculated according to the federal methodology pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 69506 as established by Title IV of the federal Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1070 et seq.).
(d) (1) “Financial need” means, as used in subdivision (a) of Section 70048, the cost of attendance minus the expected family contribution.
(2) “Financial need” means, as used in subdivision (b) of Section 70048, the cost of attendance minus the student aid index.
(e) “Gift aid” means all financial aid designated for the student’s educational expenses, including a grant, scholarship, tuition waiver, fellowship stipend, or other third-party payment, that is not a loan or pursuant to a work-study program.
(f) “Institutional gift aid” means gift aid that is paid for by the institution of higher education from its funds and the recipient of the aid is selected by the institution.
(g) “Institution of higher education” or “institution” means any public or private postsecondary educational institution in the state that receives, or benefits from, state-funded financial assistance or enrolls students who receive state-funded student financial assistance.

70048. (a) Commencing with the 2023–24 academic year, an institution of higher education shall not reduce the institutional gift aid offer of a student who is eligible to receive a federal Pell Grant award or financial assistance under the California Dream Act for an academic year as a result of private scholarship awards designated for the student unless the student’s gift aid exceeds the student’s annual cost of attendance.
(b) The institution may reduce the institutional gift aid offer of a student who is eligible to receive a federal Pell Grant award or financial assistance under the California Dream Act by no more than the amount of the student’s gift aid that is in excess of the student’s annual cost of attendance.
(c) The institution shall not consider receipt or anticipated receipt of private scholarships when considering a student who is eligible to receive a federal Pell Grant award or financial assistance under the California Dream Act for qualification for institutional gift aid.
(d) To ensure financial aid is maximized, an institution is encouraged to implement efforts to avoid scholarship displacement through consultation with scholarship providers and students to avoid situations where institutional gift aid and private scholarships can only be used for specific purposes.
(e) This article shall not be interpreted or implemented in a manner inconsistent with state or federal law. The provisions of this article are severable. If any provision of this article or its application is held invalid due to a conflict with federal requirements, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.

70100. (a) The Legislature hereby recognizes the growing need for new faculty members in the nursing field at California’s colleges and universities. This need will be fueled largely by the large number of current faculty approaching retirement age who will need to be replaced and the expected growth in enrollment demand in California. Further, to increase the supply of nurses in California, there must be an expansion of nursing educator opportunities in public colleges and universities that will produce the necessary faculty to teach in nursing programs in the state.
(b) The Legislature finds that the rising costs of higher education, coupled with a shift in available financial aid from scholarships and grants to loans, make loan repayment options an important consideration in a student’s decision to pursue a graduate degree in nursing education or in a field related to nursing.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the State Nursing Assumption Program of Loans for Education (SNAPLE) be designed to encourage persons to complete their graduate educations and serve as nursing faculty in a registered nursing program at an accredited California college or university.
(d) As used in this article, “commission” means the Student Aid Commission.

70102. The commission shall commence loan assumption payments pursuant to this article upon verification that the participant has fulfilled all of the following:
(a) The participant has received a baccalaureate degree or a graduate degree from an accredited, participating institution.
(b) The participant has provided the equivalent of full-time nursing instruction at one or more regionally accredited California colleges or universities for one academic year or the equivalent.
(c) The participant has met the requirements of the loan assumption agreement and all other conditions of this article.
