Cal Grant – California Baptist University

This state-funded program provides non-repayable financial assistance to California residents pursuing undergraduate education at eligible colleges within the state, including California Baptist University. Administered by the California Student Aid Commission, the program evaluates applicants based on their academic performance and financial need, utilizing family income and asset thresholds alongside GPA benchmarks. Depending on the student's background—whether entering from a public, private, or home school, or transferring with college credits—the application process involves submitting federal or state financial aid forms and ensuring academic records are verified. Recipients must also establish an online portal account to manage their awards and complete any necessary certification forms to release potential holds on their funding.
