Cal Grants Let’s talk about Cal Grants – an important source of grant funds provided by the State of California for California students. Students planning to attend a California college or university may be eligible to receive one of the following Cal Grants. High school Grade Point Average (usually referred to as the GPA) is an important eligibility criterion for these grants. The Cal Grant GPA is calculated using grades from sophomore and junior years of high school and any summer grades after each of those years. Awarded grants may be renewed if students and their families continue meet to all eligibility requirements. Please note: for purposes of the Cal Grant A and B Entitlement Awards, a “recent high school graduate” is defined as a student who is applying for a Cal Grant within 18 months of high school graduation. Cal Grant A - To be eligible, students need a minimum 3.0 GPA - that is a B average on a 4.0 scale - and must demonstrate financial need of at least $1,500 at the college they plan to attend. Their families must also have income and assets that are lower than the state-established ceilings. This grant currently covers system-wide fees at the California State University and University of California campuses and up to $9,084 of tuition and fees at independent California colleges and universities. Cal Grant B - This grant is for students who have a minimum 2.0 GPA - that is a C average, financial need of at least $700, and who come from very low income families. Students must also meet the other criteria mentioned already. This grant provides a small stipend of about $1,473 per year for up to four years to help with living expenses at all schools. In addition, the grant covers system-wide fees at California public 4-year institutions and up to $9,084 of tuition and fees at independent 4-year California schools. In most cases, the tuition and fee portion of the Cal Grant B is available to students in their 2nd through 4th years only. Cal Grant C - This grant is for students from low income families attending occupational or vocational schools including community college programs of less than 24 months in length. The Cal Grant C may renewable for one additional year if student and family continue to meet state-established income and asset ceilings. Priority for Cal Grant C is now given based on Occupational Goals that meet two of the following: high employment need: high employment growth; and high wages. .
