Cal Grant – California Institute of the Arts

This state-funded grant program provides financial assistance to California residents pursuing undergraduate degrees or certificates at qualifying in-state colleges. The program offers entitlement awards for graduating high school seniors, recent graduates, and community college transfer students under a certain age, as well as competitive awards for other qualifying students. Recipients are selected based on financial need, family income and asset limits, and academic performance. The funding helps students cover tuition and other educational costs without the need for repayment, provided they maintain satisfactory academic progress standards established by their institution.
