<p>So if I qualify for Gal grant B I can get $1551 for my first year right ? On the CSAC site it says</p>
<p>"If you receive a Cal Grant B, you can use your $1,551 living allowance to help pay for books and other community college costs. (If you do, however, keep in mind that youll be using up Cal Grant eligibility that you may instead want to save if youre planning to transfer to a four-year college.)"</p>
<p>Does this mean that if I don't accept my cal grant now, I could get 4 years of grants at a UC ? or 1 year of grants at CC and 3 years at a UC ? I thought that my two CC years were part of my eligibility years regardless... I'm confused if I should take the $1551 or not, I don't NEED it but it would be helpful.</p>
