<p>I was talking to the financial aid advisers and they said that if we are qualified for the Cal Grant B and the State University Grant, that we will receive the State University Grant for the first year only + the Cal Grant B for all four years. However when I called again, another person that you can only pick between the Cal Grant B or the State University Grant. Can somebody please clarify? I would be in the clear if I received the State University Grant for the first year + the Cal Grant B for all four years, if not it will be a problem for me to pay for college. Thanks!</p>

<p>“For students who are initially awarded a State University Grant for fees and subsequently receive a Cal Grant or other fee paying source including any type of tuition waiver, the State University Grant will be cancelled.”</p>

<p>That’s from CPP’s website. To me that sounds like you can’t have both.</p>

<p>That’s what I thought too, but when I called to get clarification, they said otherwise.</p>

<p>As a freshmen and you have Cal grant B, you will receive the fees part ( $1500) and the SUG. However, starting sophomore year, your SUG will be replaced with the Cal Grant B Tuition part (should be worth the same amount as a SUG or more).</p>
