How to Apply for the Cal Grant

Paying for College

<p>I'm a bit confused on how to apply for the Cal Grant. Do all I have to do is fill out the FAFSA and send my Cal Grant GPA?</p>

<p>Read [this</a> publication](<a href=“http://www.csac.ca.gov/pubs/forms/grnt_frm/newi2_CAworkbook_interactive.pdf]this”>http://www.csac.ca.gov/pubs/forms/grnt_frm/newi2_CAworkbook_interactive.pdf) from the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC).</p>

<p>So I’m correct about only needing to fill out the FAFSA and send my Cal Grant GPA to apply for the Cal Grant?</p>

<p>And I noticed a bunch of other financial aid programs on page 6 of 40 on that publication. Am I eligible for all those as long as I have the FAFSA filled out?</p>

<p>Sorry, couldn’t find them. What other programs?</p>

<p>Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, University of California Student Aid, etc.</p>

<p>You just file the FAFSA - and whatever else you need to establish eligibility (GPA, other?). When you get your award letter, it will indicate ALL the state and federal programs that you’ve been found eligible for.</p>

<p>And the UC award letters are often confusing . . . so we’ll see you back here in the Spring! :)</p>
