<p>@Matt4200 mine says</p>
<p>"NEW Cal Grant B</p>
<p>Total Award Amount: $9,529
Tuition/Fees: $8,056
Access/Books & Supplies: $1,473"</p>
<p>Says the limit is supposed to be “$9,223.” Maybe it’s just increased from last year?</p>
<p>@bomerr - I think I know what may have happened with yours. Your schools you applied to review your FAFSA and send your estimated unmet need amount and CSAC has a formula and they spit out a number of what they believe they should give you. That’s my assumption as to why yours is lower.</p>
<p>Here’s mine copied and pasted:</p>
<p>"NEW Cal Grant B Total Award Amount: $13,665</p>
<p>School of Attendance: 00132000 00 UNIV OF CA - SANTA BARBARA</p>
<p>Total Award Amount: $13,665
Tuition/Fees: $12,192
Access/Books & Supplies: $1,473
"</p>
<p>USC is lame i guess. </p>
<p>Ohhhhhhhhh that’s why lol they give you more to attend a UC than they do for anything else.</p>
<p>Here’s from the CSAC:</p>
<p>"The maximum Cal Grant A and B tuition/fee award amount at the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) remains at the 2013-14 level - $12,192 and $5,472, respectively.
• The maximum Cal Grant A and B award amount at non-public institutions reflects the changes enacted in Senate Bill 1016 as noted below:
** $8,056 for new students at private, non-profit institutions, and private, for-profit institutions that are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges ** "</p>
<p>And then the extra $1,473 for books/living costs</p>
<p>@Matt4200: Hey Matt, do u still wanna go to UCSB despite what happened last night?! lol</p>
<p>@Bolandgoo - I don’t think that is an “lol” moment, and neither would any humane person.</p>
<p>take it easy. I "lol"ed at students with the same situation as yours, who would have dreamed of going to UCSB, but because of this incident are having second doubt…</p>
<p>Never thought I’d agree with @matt4200, but this time I do. Definitely nothing to joke about in any way. It’s a horrific tragedy. </p>
<p>I usually add “lol” to my comments, even when I’m not laughing…lol!!</p>
<p>I’m actually really curious how many people are going to change their decisions now. Are we not allowed to have a discussions about it on these forums? policy maybe cause I dont see any threads about it here.</p>
<p>I don’t see why this would change anyone’s decisions. It’s not like shootings are a frequent occurrence, much less on a university campus.</p>
<p>@bolandgoo - Even still 
nothing about this is “lol” able. </p>
<p>And idk how the Cal Grant thread got so derailed onto this? At minimum this should be in a UCSB thread.</p>
<p>@Matt4200 </p>
<p>Late bump, apologizes. To Matt or anybody, what is this Sept cycle? I had missed the deadline but what is this other cycle? </p>
<p>I was referring to post 28.</p>
