<p>So the first time I filled out my FAFSA, I accidentally put my parents' income as my income so on my FAFSA my family income was $110K when really it is only half of that. But so when I received my unofficial financial aid letter from UCI, they didn't give me any financial aid. Now that I've made corrections to my FAFSA, my family income is $55K and UCI updated my unofficial financial aid letter. I got 3K from a UCI grant, 2K from Fed Grant, and in my aid letter it said "Cal Grant A: $7,900." However, this 7K from Cal Grant is not confirmed and when i sign onto the Cal Grant website, it says I was ineligible but I think that this is based on my first FAFSA submission. How do I know if my Cal Grant status has been updated to reflect my new FAFSA?</p>
<p>Call the school & ask them how to handle this. The change you made may not get picked up - and I am betting you will have to be verified in order to get the change applied. Just give the aid office a call & explain your situation. You may also want to call the Cal Grant office (I don’t know much about Cal Grant - I am assuming that they have a customer service #).</p>
