My community college sent the GPA verification for me already, but I applied for FAFSA past the March 2 (state) deadline and did not apply for Cal Grants. Will this hinder my eligibility to have my tuition covered by UC Blue and Gold?
Call your school and ask. If so, you may have to take to delay enrollment for a year to qualify. Why did you apply so late? You could have used estimated numbers and then corrected later.
Fafsa application is one of the essential requirement for Blue and Gold (requirements are also clearly stated on UC website). Fafsa is pretty much everything. If you missed it, it’s not matter of B&G plan anymore. It’s about federal, state grant you could’ve received.
