Cal Grant 0 Eligibility never received

Paying for College
1

<p>So I have had a very weird college career. I attended a community college for a couple semesters and did poorly. I stopped attending college, and just recently returned and have done excellent. I applied for the cal grant when I was first in college for some reason, and was obviously denied each time for my poor GPA. I check in my account every now and then to review it, and even this year 2013-2014 I was denied. </p>

<p>Now I am not really worried about that, but I am applying to transfer, and by the time I transfer my GPA will be a 3.7. I am going to apply for my Cal Grant, and I meet all the requirments so I see no reason I will be denied for the years 2014-2015.</p>

<p>What makes me nervous is that for each year I was denied it states I have a remaining eligibility of 0. I have never received any cal grant, and have never even been granted it. </p>

<p>Do you think 0 is just default for those who get denied, or did 3 denials eat away at my Cal Grant?</p>

<p>I am very nervous because I want to make sure I received it upon transfer, and everything squared away.</p>

<p>Anybody have any thoughts? Please post!</p>

<p>I also read this somewhere</p>

<p>"You can apply for a Cal Grant Entitlement Award in one of four ways:
1.Within one year after you graduate. So even if you have to go straight to work before going to college, you don’t have to miss out on a Cal Grant.</p>

<p>2.As a community college transfer student, as long as you are under the age of 28.</p>

<p>3.As a high school senior.</p>

<p>4.Within one year of getting your GED."</p>

<p>Does this mean I haven’t received it because I am in community college, and did not begin attending within a year after? And will become eligible once I begin to transfer?</p>

<p>In that case would my 0 years eligibility remaining just be because I have not been approved yet, and therefore have no remaining eligibility?</p>
