<p>I logged into my portal today and saw that the financial aid had been updated. I qualify for a Cal Grant A but it is not showing up yet, instead they are offering a State University Grant. My question is, the fees for tuition are over $9000 yet the Cal Grant only covers $5472, does anyone know why this is?</p>
<p>On the financial aid page click on the link titled “Financial Aid Summary”. This will show you the difference between total cost of attendance and your expected financial contribution. Aid is based on this gap. Your aid maximum may simply be $5472.</p>
