<p>I'm awarded Cal Grant B for the upcoming school year with only $1,473 to pay for personal things like books/supplies. Will they send a check of this amount to me monthly? Or is this amount disbursed per semester? I'm just confused how they give the money to you. I know the tuition payment goes directly to my college, I'm going to a community college, but what about this personal aid? Thank you in advance for anyone's help! </p>
<p>Just curious…but how did you find out already that you received this? Did they already release their decisions? I thought they weren’t out until May.</p>
