Thousands of students lost their chance for free tuition under the state's expanded Cal Grant program because community colleges failed to file required grade reports, according to an Assembly report released Monday.The colleges, including about two dozen around Los Angeles and every one in Orange and Ventura counties, submitted only a small number of grades to the California Student Aid Commission, the study found. Grade reports were required for the 11,250 grants that the billion-dollar program set aside for community college students. College officials said the grade submission process is too complicated for many financial aid departments. Administrative problems have plagued the Cal Grant program since it was expanded a year ago, when the Legislature increased its funding by about $600 million over five years. In the summer, the program had to return about $35 million in unspent grant money to the state's general fund.
