<p>Does anyone know if the ceiling income used to establish eligibility for Cal Grants is the Federal Adjusted Income from the tax form or is it the parents' available income from FAFSA?</p>
<p>i believe it is the AGI</p>
<p>CalGrant uses the total taxable and non-taxable income you reported on the FAFSA. Only parent's income is included if the Student is a dependent. So you'll need to go into the parent's A-B-C worksheets to pull the numbers out.</p>
