Cal-Grant

Allan Hancock College facilitates the Cal-Grant program, which is funded by the state of California to help students afford their higher education. This state-funded assistance is designed for undergraduate California resident students, and eligibility extends to undocumented students. The California Student Aid Commission manages the program, assessing applicant eligibility and assigning the appropriate grant type. To be considered for this state aid, students must complete the FAFSA or the California Dream Act Application, which serves as the state application for undocumented individuals. The program provides different award levels based on the student's eligibility status. Specifically, the annual funding amount is Cal-Grant B: $1,672 or Cal-Grant C: $1,094. Recipients can use these funds to cover educational costs at the college without the obligation of repayment.
