Cal Grants?

<p>Has anyone recieved their cal grants into their barc accounts yets? I've recieved all loans, scholarships, and grants. Only thing missing is my cal grant. =/</p>

<p>I’m in the same condition</p>

<p>Me too.</p>

<p>I’m waiting for my Calgrant to come in before I request my loans.</p>

<p>I remember last year I went through this too.
They tend to post it very close to the fee deadline for some reason.
But I’m sure it will go through. If not, you can always defer payment (if something goes awry)</p>

<p>As long as the UCSB FinAid site say you will be getting it, you are fine.</p>

<p>If you want further help, check here: <a href=“CSAC - Student Landing Home”>CSAC - Student Landing Home; , it tells you the status of your CalGrant.</p>

<p>They have to wait until the money is officially given from the state, I think. And that’s even later this year, because of the budget crisis.</p>

<p>[UCSB</a> Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.finaid.ucsb.edu/Bulletins/CalGrantUpdate.asp]UCSB”>http://www.finaid.ucsb.edu/Bulletins/CalGrantUpdate.asp)</p>

<p>My Cal Grant has just become official/confirmed/accepted, whatever you can call it. On the Financial Aid page, it says that it has been credited to my BARC account, but the deduction still hasn’t shown on BARC.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, I just checked my financial aid website and my cal grants have been accepted as well, but it hasn’t been entered into my barc account yet.</p>

<p>My Calgrant is accepted!</p>

<p>Where are you guys finding this? All I see is the official award letter on the UCSB Financial Aid website.</p>

<p>Lucas, I think they are finding it on the page 7 of the financial aid information - Disbursement Information. And you can see if it’s been credited to your account here:

<p>Ahh ok I see it now. Thanks for the quick response.</p>

<p>Apparently the UC wont get the funding on time at all this year.
They are going to use their own money to distribute the funds to students
and wait for the state to compensate them.</p>

<p>"Yudof said the university, on a temporary basis, will use funds from short-term accounts to cover the estimated $125 million in Cal Grants for fall term with the expectation that state will reimburse the university once the Legislature and governor adopt a final state budget. "</p>

<p>see dissonance’s link.</p>

<p>Wait…Is there a difference between the “University of California Grant” and the CSAC grant?! Is this the one everyone is waiting for?</p>

<p>When I checked the csac award I was awarded, it hasn’t appeared on my fin. aid letter yet!</p>

<p>CSAC = California Student Aid Commission </p>

<p>They are the people who deal with Cal Grants; I’m guessing you checked my link?</p>

<p>And no, there is no separate CSAC Grant, only the Cal Grant. CSAC lets you check on your Cal grant.</p>

<p>I’m guessing other people got them today as well?</p>

<p>I recieved mine a week ago, and my things are already paid off for the fall quarter.</p>

<p>on my ucsb fin acc it says possible cal grant eligibility but on the csac website it says qualified but not awarded. i need this money thouhg $7788.</p>

<p>does that mean im not gonna get it?</p>

<p>Did you use the Webgrants for Students page? You can find it here: <a href=“CSAC - Student Landing Home”>CSAC - Student Landing Home;
It should say “Awarded” when you login. Did you ever turn in the GPA Verification form and do your FAFSA by the date? If so, and you are eligible, you should have gotten it.</p>

<p>yes i did it way before the deadline. i did fafsa on jan 1 and the gpa verification like 3 weeks before the deadline. thats why im worrying. and im poor and minority</p>
