Question regarding CAL GRANT

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>So I didn't apply for the cal grant when I was HS senior and I graduated in June 2008. Is is ok if I apply for the Cal grant this year(like right now)? Will they use my college gpa rather than my HS gpa for verification? Thanks.</p>

<p>apply and see what they ask for. and the first time around, you have to go to the college and ask them to submit your gpa.</p>

<p>College GPA and you will not get Cal Grant until the 2009-2010 school year.</p>

<p>So does this just basically mean I apply, and they’ll treat me as a transfer student. I just graduated HS in 2008</p>

<p>I’m still eligible to apply though right?..like I will get a grant right</p>

6

<p>Do CC’s give cal grants?</p>

<p>No I mean since we’re all transferring, if we didn’t apply during HS senior year, can we still apply now? </p>

<p>Also, say with an EFC of 0, how much would one expect from the entire financial aid package at CAL or other UC’s?</p>

<p>You guys should have been mailed a FinAid brochure. Typically, if your EFC is 0 you will get the max amount.</p>
