USC and Cal Grants

<p>Do Cal Grants replace University Grant money, or add on to it?</p>

<p>i.e. say my USC EFC was $17,000..... if i got a $9000 cal grant, would I be paying $8000, or still $17,000, with my University grant decreased by $9000?</p>

<p>i'm assuming and hoping it's the former...</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the Cal Grant replaces USC grant money.</p>

<p>I have Cal Grant and University Grant... at least according to the package USC sent me. But it is a estimate amount so it is not finalized.</p>

<p>It's possible to have both. What I meant was that any outside money (scholarships, cal grants etc) decreases the amount of USC grants. So the EFC stays the same,regardless of where the grant money is coming from.</p>
