Hey, just out of curiosity… How much was the typical aid everyone received for Cal Grant A & B? Also, does anyone know what the requirements are for the University Grant (for UC’s)? Thanks!
<p>how much did you get??</p>
<p>Well, I got about $1500 for a Cal State but i'm guessing it is the same for a UC. I received Cal Grant B. But I attended a community college while in high school, and my GPA at the college is higher. I guess they recalc your GPA from Soph. and Jr. yrs. Unweighted I did pretty bad. I have about a 3.7 weighted GPA, but soph. and jr. years unweighted was like a 2.9 or something. Yea, really low. So i'm thinking of calling the California Student Aid Commission and have them use my college GPA instead of high school. But I wanted to see if Cal Grant A for a UC was considerably more. Its a long paperwork process and if its a small difference, its probably not worth it.</p>
