Cal Grant Questionnnn

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>So I'm happy that the UC's are as inexpensive as they are (relatively speaking)--but, they are STILL 26,000 dollars per year.</p>

<p>BUt...</p>

<p>I <em>think</em> I meet all of the requirements on it except for the whole "you must've been a CA resident when you graduated high school." That's where I panic.</p>

<p>wt.f! </p>

<p>Basically....is there any way around that!?</p>

<p>And what is the family income range because I cannot find it anywhere!</p>

<p>Thats not the requirement i believe there another way to prove residence like living in California for a year.</p>

<p>Also if you make under 70k a year the U.C blue and gold plan will cover all tuition cost which is around 11k~ and the 15000 extra you can get 3-5k from Pell grant then the rest you can get loans for.</p>

<p>IIRC there is a post on this forum from a first semester transfer that post their F.A package i can’t seem to find it</p>

<p>Jeremy,</p>

<p>I think that’s the requirement for HS to College students, not transfer students.</p>

<p>Oh and what is the GPA requirment? Is it 2.0 or 3.0 or what? I read the requirments but I was a little confused. And is it possible to update your GPA after the March 2nd deadline? (My GPA is kind of low right now,but I’m taking a few classes to bring it up)</p>
