Changing Cal Grant from A to B

<p>After doing some research, it appears that I would benefit more from Cal Grant B than Cal Grant A. I have an EFC of 0, and qualify for the Blue and Gold Opportunity plan.</p>

<p>I have already attended my UC for two years, going into my third. Is there a way to switch to Cal Grant B?</p>

<p>Upon further research, it looks like I cannot change from A to B after my initial funds were disbursed freshman year. </p>

<p>This is ridiculous, I think I just left 1.5K times 4 years on the table for NOTHING.</p>

<p>What’s even more aggravating is that my school decides which one is more beneficial for the STUDENT if a student qualifies for both A and B. I don’t remember ‘picking’ A; so I assume they picked it for me? </p>

<p>This is just stupid, Cal Grant A saves the school money (because they would have to pick up the tab from the Blue and Gold Opportunity plan if I had Cal Grant B). </p>

<p>Did I just ‘leave’ 6K+ on the table because my school decided Cal Grant A was more “beneficial” to ME? </p>

<p>This can’t be right…can it?</p>
