Cal Grant B: 1551 + <a href="1551+6141">b</a> x 3** = 24,627 for your whole 4 years of college career at UC school.

<p>1551 : First Year of Cal Grant B, covers living expenses</p>

<p>+</p>

<p>(1551+6141) x 3 : From the second year on CalGrant B covers living expenses plus fees (aka tuition)</p>

<p>I don't get why they would offer 1551 for the first year, and then 6,141+1,551 the other three years...</p>

26

<p>well most scholarships that we can apply for are for first year only so i guess it really helps out?</p>

27

<p>Yah, but I'm talking about the Cal Grant B specifically. Why do they give you 1551 for the first year and then (1551 x 6141) for the next three years, and Cal Grant gives 6141 for all four years?</p>
