fafsa and cal grant!!!

<p>Hi everyone:
i have a cal grant question. i just got an email saying that i qualify for UCRiverside cal grant and it is the only college that's on my cal grant list. But people say that calgrant chooses the top three colleges listed on your fafsa form, but Riverside was the last college that i sent in. how come i didn't get cal grant result for other colleges? is it because i sent the 10 colleges in fafsa first and sent riverside last with a separate correction. </p>

<p>and do i have to go to riverside now?</p>

<p>you can only have one school at a time on the cal grant website and your CAR. Once you decide what school you are going to go to you will change it on the cal grant website.</p>

<p>ohh so like once i decided in april or may which college im going to for sure, then it’s still not too late to tell the colleges right?</p>

<p>you don’t have to call and tell the colleges about your cal grant - they will know whether you qualify or not (as long as you are going to a college in California, which is a requirement to getting the grant). You have to tell the Cal Grant program which college you choose - you can wait until you have made your choice and then change it. you will also need to go into the Cal Grant website during the summer and verify with the program that you graduated college.</p>

<p>You can make a school change at <a href=“CSAC - Student Landing Home”>CSAC - Student Landing Home. Just create an account and login. Once you are logged in, you have 2 link options: Cal Grant and Chaffee Grant. Click on Cal Grant and you get another list of links labelled ‘What is the purpose of your visit today?’. There you will find one that says ‘Submit School Change and Leave of Absence’.</p>
