What happened to grants in California

Yes we initially entered that our income would be approx. 140,000. it was actually 133,000., but we have two other kids now in college which lowered our EFC to approx. 10,100 and no real assets. When we called SAN Diego States financial aid dept they advised that students don’t get aid until the EFC is around 5,000 meaning we would have to have 6 kids in college…rough. My daughters are U.S. citizens not eligible under the Dream Act but regular students.
