Cal Grant Program

This state-funded program provides financial assistance to eligible California residents pursuing undergraduate education. The program helps students cover tuition, fees, and other educational expenses at qualifying California colleges and universities. To qualify, students must meet financial need and academic requirements, which are verified through their cumulative grade point average. The college automatically submits GPA verifications for students who have completed a minimum number of units, while others may need to coordinate with their high school or submit a paper verification form. Recipients who have previously received this award only need to refile their financial aid application annually to remain eligible.
