<p>babyblue, i went on the UCLA financial aid website and it says:</p>
<p>"On my California Aid Report (CAR), it states that I am eligible for both Cal Grant A and B and to contact my school. Can I choose Cal Grant A?</p>
<p>We recommend that you choose Cal Grant B. The first year's Cal Grant B award is for access costs only, expenses for transportation, supplies and books. Beginning with the second year of Cal Grant B benefits, you receive the access costs in addition to the tuition and fees. Over four years, you will receive more from Cal Grant B."</p>
<p>i suppose the aid is similar for each UC but cal grant B is worth more than cal grant A over the course of your college education. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/paying.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/paying.html</a> shows the financial aid links for each of the UCs if you want to check each of their policies for cal grants. </p>
<p>oh and to answer azure326's question,i submitted my fafsa at the end of january but my school did not send the GPA verification form until a few weeks ago.</p>
