2012-13 APLE Program

The California Student Aid Commission is no longer accepting 2012-13 APLE applications because the program is being discontinued. The 2012-13 California Budget Act does not authorize any new APLE allocations for the 2012-13 academic year.

The Student Aid Commission will continue to process paperwork and payments for existing (2011-12 academic year and prior) APLE agreements.
