<p>In my financial aid award summary for berkeley, Cal grant is not included, why? All the other UC's included an estimated cal grant in the award summary, why not berkeley? is this normal or do i have to clear something up with the financial aid office at berkeley? ...i tried looking for an answer through the posts but not able to find a solid answer. thanks</p>
<p>The Cal Grant does not get added until later on, usually by the time classes start your Cal Grant will come up on the f/a list. Keep in mind that it won't be extra money and it won't take the place of any loans. Berkeley usually puts together a f/a package in expectation that you will qualify for the Cal grant even though they have not yet obtained the information from the state yet. So they usually put on your f/a list a UC grant, school grant or something comparable to fill in that space, then when your Cal Grant comes through, they replace your UC grant w/ the Cal Grant.</p>
