<p>i got cal grant A for $6151 or so. does any1 get more?</p>
<p>The number depends on a lot of things. </p>
<p>You get more if the Cal Grant is to a private school (they have a higher threshhold, though it doesn't cover the same percentage of Cost of Attendance as it does at the UC/CSU level).</p>
<p>If you applied on time, you're likely to get more than someone who didn't (who has comparable need).</p>
<p>If you have high need, you're more likely to get closer to whichever upper limit the Cal Grant offers (around $7000-8000 at privates, around $5000-6000 at UC/CSU).</p>
<p>I only got 1500 and my EFC is 0...</p>
<p>The letter I got in the mail from the Cal Grant people only shows 3 of the schools that I applied to.</p>
<p>How can I know how much I would get for all of the other CA schools I applied to? </p>
<p>BTW, of the 3 schools that it shows, 2 are CalGrant A, 1 is CalGrant B and they are all different amount of $...weird?</p>
<p>thats weird...i got around 6100s and my EFC is 5027 while my friends EFc is 0 n he got 1551...n mine's for public schools 0,0 My dad says maybe itz cuz we pay more tax as middle income families than the low income families thats y they give us more money like a tax rebate.</p>
<p>if u wanna attend another school, call them.</p>
<p>I got my cal grant too...I got $6141. I was pretty stoked, but I didn't understand why it only had 3 schools listed either. The top one was Berkeley and they said that this was the school I am planning to attend in the fall (which I am not). Did anyone else have this problem?</p>
<p>the info that came with the offer explains it. You can use your calgrant at any CA school listed on the fafsa, you just have to send a letter to the CA aid commission informing them which school you actually are going to</p>
<p>thx lindsaylu =-)</p>
