<p>my parents make $59,556 TOGETHER. theres them two, me, my sister, and my grandpa. </p>
<p>i have a 3.7 GPA</p>
<p>HOW ON EARTH DID THEY REJECT ME FOR BOTH CAL GRANTS? IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG?</p>
<p>Same here. By parents combined make 61K...It said Income over ceiling and I was ineligible for both. I asked me counselor about it, she didn't know much either...</p>
<p>any idea what the ceiling is?</p>
<p>From the website:</p>
<p>For the Cal Grant A and C programs, the 2006-07 year income ceilings for dependent students & independent students with dependents other than a spouse are $83,600 with 6 or more family members, $77,500 with 5 family members, $72,300 with 4 family members or $66,500 with 3 or $65,000 for two in the family. The dependent student asset ceiling (parent's assets) for the 2006-07 year is $55,900.</p>
<p>For the Cal Grant B program, the 2006-07 year income ceilings are $45,900 with 6 or more family members, $42,500 with 5 or more family members, $38,000 with 4 family members, $34,200 with 3 family members, $30,300 with 2 family members and $26,500 for single students. The asset ceilings are the same as for the Cal Grant A and C programs.</p>
<p>so.. according to that.. im pretty under the ceiling.. that is so weird.</p>
<p>perhaps your parents have more than $55,900 in assets?</p>
<p>we paid off a house that is valued at 500K does that count?</p>
