Blue and Gold Opportunity and Cal Grant

<p>Could someone explain the blue and gold opportunity plan to me? </p>

<p>On my financial statement page, it says I received Cal Grant A- $11,124, and I am eligible for the Blue and Gold OP which is also $11,124. Is it the same thing, or am i receiving $22,248 from Cal Grant and Blue and gold combined? I doubt that so, help! please explain!</p>

<p>if for some reason you didnt get your cal grant (paperwork problems, no verification, etc), or your cal grant runs out (after four years), blue and gold will cover the same costs. blue and gold grant just insures that people who are under a certain annual household income level will have the same amount covered for tuition/housing that those who have cal grant receive.</p>

<p>makes sense. thank you!!</p>
