<p>I haven't talked to an FA advisor or counselor to the schools in which I have been accepted yet, but I was wondering if the Cal Grant award amount should be the same for each FA package from CA schools? I've only received one FA package so far, so I couldn't compare.</p>
<p>Would it also be the same if I chose to go to a CCC instead? Or would the amount be diminished because of the lower tuition involved in that scenario?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>Cal Grant A Entitlement awards can be used for tuition and fees at public and private colleges as well as some private career colleges. At CSU and UC schools, this Cal Grant covers systemwide fees up to $5,472 and $12,192 respectively.</p>
<p>If you are attending a private college, it pays up to $9,708 toward tuition and fees. To get this Cal Grant, you need to be working toward a two-year or four-year degree.</p>
<p>So…you’d get less at a private than a UC, and very little at a CC - since tuition/fees are so low there. The amounts at UCs and CSUs will vary depending on tuition/fees.</p>
<p>That’s what I was suspecting. Thanks for clearing it up.</p>

<p>Are you talking about graduate school? You mentioned on another thread that you graduated in 2006.</p>
<p>emerald, no, I’m a non-traditional student. I would be an Undergraduate Freshman for Fall 2012.</p>
