Confused about Cal Grant (received more aid than I expected)

Paying for College
1

<p>This morning I received an email telling me to check my CalIfornia Aid Report. Here's what it looks like:
UCLA cal grant A: 12192
UCI cal grant A: 12192
UCSD cal grant A: 12192
I didn't qualify for cal grant B at all.</p>

<p>So I'm confused because I think I just received 12k for these 3 UC's??? I usually never qualify for financial aid... I don't get free or reduced lunch at school, and I can't even get a fee waiver on AP tests or SAT. So how could it be possible that I qualify for 12192 for Cal Grant A?
I think I'm misreading the chart or something. Please tell me if I am misreading/misunderstanding my report.</p>

<p>Also, what if I get rejected by all 3 schools? Does that mean I won't have any money offered to me for any other schools???</p>

<p>Yes, as it stands now if you are accepted to and attend one of the listed schools, you will receive $12,192 toward your tuition/fees. If you have filled out your FAFSA using estimated numbers and the actual numbers turn out to be higher when you make corrections, your grant status may change.</p>

<p>If you are rejected by those schools but accepted to another qualifying California school, you will change your school on your WebGrants for students account. At a CSU such as Cal Poly, the Cal Grant would be $5,472. At a qualifying California private such as Chapman, the Cal Grant would be $9,084.</p>
