<p>Hi there! </p>
<p>So the title states my problem. Today morning I got an email from the Calgrant guys saying that I "wasn't considered for Cal Grant because of one of the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>CSAC did not receive your Cal Grant GPA Verification Form; or,</li>
<li>CSAC received your Cal Grant GPA Verification Form after the March 2, 2014, deadline; or,</li>
<li> CSAC received an incomplete Cal Grant GPA Verification Form from you; or,</li>
<li> CSAC received a GPA from a non-accredited high school" </li>
</ol>
<p>Here's the problem, I DID submit the GPA Verification form BEFORE the deadline and WAS COMPLETE and my school IS accredited. I talked to my counselors, and they have no proof that I submitted. I am sure that there was some mistake on the school's side. They have been poor in overall paper work in the time I spent there.</p>
<p>Email said I could apply for a "Late CalGrant", but I had to attach a proof or reason for the late submission. The Late CalGrant form also has a section that asks me to state the same reason. The principal of my HS was kind enough to write me a letter stating that I had submitted.</p>
<p>I need advice for the following - </p>
<p>What should I write on the form where it asked me for a reason?
Also, will I be at a disadvantage in terms of aid received?
Also, is the reason of incompetence on the school's side a good enough reason to get the aid?
Also, will this be an issue of just the first semister of the college or all the four years?</p>
<p>I am really bummed out by this. I expected that everything would go fine and now this has happened.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
