<p>My financial aid offer shows all my fees being covered by grants, but not anything more to live on.
Since I will be in my third year and the fees are all covered already, am I even eligible for any kind of Cal Grant? Has anyone received a SMART grant before, and if so, how much did you actually get?</p>
<p>SMART grant requires pell eligibility and that you are majoring in specific degrees. Mostly sciences, math, languages but the degree has to be listed by your school as a SMART eligible grant. Your school should have a list of their SMART eligible grants. You must also be a junior or senior and have at least a 3.0 GPA. If you are eligible I would have expected it to be in your FA award. SMART is $4000 (my daughter has the SMART grant). Unfortunately 2010-2011 is the last year for the SMART and ACG programs.</p>

<p>Thanks for the answer. I meet all the requirements, but don’t see it in my awards. Maybe it’s too early? I was also wondering if it is always $4000 or if it depends on how many people get it.</p>
