Help me! I'm confused.

<p>I live in california. my efc is zero. first generation attending college. 6 people in my family. parents total income ~$20,000.</p>

<p>if I apply for FAFSA, does that automatically sign me up for cal grants and pell grants and the SEOG grant? </p>

<p>what are the differences between these grants?
cal grants ~ $8,300
pell grants ~ $4,050
SEOG ~ $2,200</p>

<p>are all these grants renewable every year for the same amount assuming that my family's income remains consistent?</p>

<p>if i qualify for the maximum amount of grants, then could i get ~$14,000 a year?</p>

<p>which one is better, cal grant A or B? </p>

<p>what are endowments?</p>

<p>=(</p>

<p>I can tell you that pell grants grow in amount each year, but that's about all the info I have for you.</p>

<p>Thankyou.</p>

<p>My counseler provided me with some information. here it is:</p>

<p>Federal Pell Grant - annual awards up to $4050
Federal SEOG - annual awards up to $4000
Cal Grant A - annual awards up to $9708
Cal Grant B - annual awards up to $11259</p>

<p>To qualify for these, fill out the FAFSA form. For Cal Grants, get your GPA verified. </p>
