<p>Hello everyone I am new to this forum and I have a financial aid question regarding the Cal Grant B.
So currently I am attending a community college and am eligible to receive cal grant b. I checked the status of my award and it states that it is $1,473. If I did not attend college last semester will i receive the full award amount for just the spring semester or will I only receive half of it? Also what happens if i only receive half, does it go towards another year or will it just disappear? Thanks and I hope this isn't to difficult to answer. </p>
<p>If I remember correctly, you can only receive a cal grant for 8 semesters (or quarters equivalents). so, you wouldn’t “lose” the semester that you didn’t go to college, but stay on schedule otherwise you could run out before graduating.</p>
