A student receiving a nonresident tuition exemption under SB 141 does not receive resident status for the purpose of fees or financial aid. Rather
they are exempt from nonresident tuition fees under this law. These students do not qualify for the BOG Fee Waiver or any other state financial
aid until they establish California residency. As citizens, SB 141 students may apply and qualify for federal financial assistance such as Pell, FSEOG and
federal student loans.
