What happened to grants in California

Our initial estimate from CSUMentor was that we would be getting $11,117 in aid. $5645 from a Federal Pell Grant, $0 from a Cal Grant, and $5,472 in a State University Grant. At the bottom it of course said it was an estimate and not binding. It also said the State University Grant was based on the availability of funds. My only thought is that now the total amount available is being dispersed differently now that Dream Act students are included which would of course lower the threshold for grant. Now that the Dream Act is also federally honored I would think the same thing is occurring there. I just want to know but feel the school doesn’t want to say it because it is not politically correct to do so.
