Cal Grant "Reported Income Over the Ceiling"?

Paying for College
1

<p>When I checked on the Cal Grant website under Award Detail, it says that I did not qualify for ANY of the Cal Grants. I think there was a mistake because it says my parents' total income is $123,870 when in reality, it is around $60,000.</p>

<p>I am guessing this is a problem in my FAFSA? This frustrates me. I'm not sure how a mistake could more than double my parents' actual income.</p>

<p>Has this happened to anyone? I'm going to look at my FAFSA again and hope I can find something.</p>

<p>Look to see if you listed your parents’ total income twice…For instance, did you list that your mom makes $60k and your dad makes $60k? That would mean that they earn $120k total.</p>
