Fin Aid/Cal Grant

<p>I've been looking through other threads but can't seem to find anything that helps me....</p>

<p>I submitted my FAFSA back in March and was selected for a financial aid review. My fin aid counselor has finally finished and my offer letter is now on Bearfacts. Some grants and workstudy have automatically been accepted but nothing has been sent to CARS yet. I was also offered loans that are pending my approval, but that I don't want to take.</p>

<p>Here's the thing though: In the time that my case was being reveiwed, I was offered CAL Grant A. I activated my online account on the webgrants thing but my financial aid offer letter doesn't reflect anything about Cal Grants and nothing has been paid to CARS either. Other posts I've read say the fin aid counselors automatically accept them....but that doesn't seem to be the case for me. I don't want to freak about this anymore so any help would be greatly appreciated! I didn't get a Cal Grant last year so I' not really accustomed to this process. Should I inform my fin aid counselor about this? I've been in contact with him through email over the past month or so and I think he's getting frustrated with me so I dont want him to do something that would make me loose my grant. Also, when the Cal Grant works out, will that be deducted from my loan amount on the offer letter? Thanks!</p>
