<p>When I filled out my FAFSA and applied for a cal grant, we used out 2008 financial info like you're supposed to. I didnt get a grant, just loans, because I was over the ceiling limit and didnt have financial need.
But, my mom lost her job almost a year ago and hasn't gotten work yet. Now my dad is going to be laid off at the end of May. Is there any thing i can do to get some sort of gift aid? Does anyone else have a similar situation?</p>
<p>call the financial aid office and ask them about a special circumstances form and anything else you can do</p>
<p>Try asking this question on the financial aid forum area. They should be more helpful about this.</p>
