<p>I just checked the mygrantinfo page and they say that I qualify for a Cal Grant A award which is worth over $6,000 (for UCs) but they automatically gave me the Cal Grant B award which is only worth about $1,500. What steps do I take to request that I receive the Cal Grant A instead?</p>
<p>You have to talk to your college's financial aid officer and get a Recipient Change Form signed by the officer.</p>
<p>Careful with switching these two though because the amount you'll get in your 2nd through 4th years will be greater with the Cal Grant B. Check out all its details at the official Cal grant site.</p>
<p>I see... Looks like I'm gonna have to check that out first. Thanks you two! :)</p>
