Hello, I received by financial aid letter from UCSD and it lists that I will get an estimated $12,570 in Cal Grant money. I got an email today from Cal Grant saying that I was disqualified. The cal grant was the only “gift aid” I got so does this mean I won’t get any financial aid that I won’t have to pay back? Will I have to take out the entire $33,000 in loans? My FAFSA was submitted before the March 2 deadline but I submitted a correction with a significant change about a week ago. My family’s income and assets are below the threshold for the Cal Grant so I’m not sure why I was declined for it. Also, if I don’t get anything for the Cal Grant will UCSD make up the $12,570 by paying for it or getting it from a different source?
Call the Calgrant office and ask why you were disqualified. My understanding is…they are very helpful.
