Cal Grant is missing?

Paying for College

<p>I was checking my financial aid packages for the 4 CSU'S I was accepted to, and none of them list my Cal Grant.
Here is an example (SDSU):</p>

<p>Grants Fall Spring
Federal Pell Grant $2865 $2865
State University Grant $2736 $2736
Educational Opportunity Program Grant $500 $500
Total $6101 $6101</p>

<p>Work Study Program Fall Spring
Federal Work Study
Earned and paid monthly once you find a job $2000 $2000
Total $2000 $2000</p>

<p>Direct Loan Eligibility - Loans must be repaid with interest
Loans in estimated status are pending action you must take to activate the loan. Fall
*Gross / Net Spring
*Gross / Net
Activate your   Estimated Subsidized Federal Direct Student Loan $1749 / $1731 $1750 / $1732
Activate your   Estimated Unsubsidized Federal Direct Student Loan $999 / $989 $1000 / $990
Request Parent Loan  Estimated Federal Direct Parent Loan - approved credit is required $2305 / $2200 $2305 / $2207
Total
I'm a bit confused because on the Cal grant website, it says I have been awarded Cal grant B. Also on my UC Financial Aid packages, it lists Cal Grant A (12,000 something dollars) as one of my grants. </p>

<p>Has anyone else experienced this? I want to call the office, but it is currently closed .(SDSU) Should I call tommorrow?
Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>The CSU’s have not given my son any final financial award letters yet. I am waiting on CPP, CSULB and SJSU. Only thing showing up is Pell and Loans, no Cal Grant or other grants. They are cutting it really close with decisions on the line.</p>

<p>@defying - your Cal Grant is listed on your aid award. Please note that at the CSUs the Cal Grant is worth $5,472 (please see Cal Grant “A” award details here <a href=“http://www.calgrants.org/index.cfm?navId=11”>http://www.calgrants.org/index.cfm?navId=11&lt;/a&gt; ). You are looking at awards from California State Universities and the State Grant in California is the Cal Grant. Add your two “State University Grant” amounts ($2,736 + $2,736) and you get $5472 = your Cal Grant.</p>

<p>Oooh, thank you very much! I went to my counselor today and she didn’t know, so she said “call them and ask.” -_-
That’s why I ask questions on this site first before I call.
Thank you! @alememom :slight_smile: </p>
