<p>Anyone know who to appeal the FAFSA/CAL Grant? CAL grant has given me nothing even though my family makes ~100k a year with six people in the family (4 of whom are going to attend college at one time or another). I have gotten into UC Berkeley, and they are not giving me any aid whatsoever aside from a 300 dollar "scholarship." Right now they are expecting me to pay 25 grand a year which is ridiculous. </p>
<p>Your family income level appears to be above the Cal grant income ceilings.</p>
<p>Your FAFSA EFC is too high for federal grants.</p>
<p>The number of kids only affects the EFC when 2 or more are in college at the same time - then the parent portion of the EFC is divided between the number of students in college.</p>
<p>Yes, they gave me some Federal PLUS! loans and some subsidized loans along with work study. I'm not afraid of work study, I just don't want to screw up college for my three younger siblings just so I can go to college. I am apply for scholarships right now.</p>
