URGENT: If you filled out the California Dream Application for 2013/14 (Dream App due today at midnight- caldreamact.org ), you ALSO must to submit your GPA verification form in order to have access to Cal Grants. GPA verification form must be postmakred by this Monday, March 4th, 2013 (the date was moved from June to now March....). If you have not done so, you NEED to get this form filled out this Monday. Some high schools and colleges send this verification form automatically to the California Student Aid Commission, but SOME don't, hence, you have to do the research and find out if your GPA verification form has been sent. If you have not completed 24 college units yet, and the 2013/2014 school year will be the first time you will get a Cal grant, you must get your GPA verification form filled out by your HIGH SCHOOL. If you have completed 24 or more college units, you must have your GPA verification form filled out by your COLLEGE.
*Community college students: you do not need to send the GPA verification form unless you are transferring to a CSU/UC for the 2013/2014 School year (Fall 2013) and you want to apply for a Cal Grant. If this is your first or second year at a community college, and you filled out the CA Dream Application, then you may be eligible for the Board of Governor's (BOG) Fee Waiver, and what CC students tell me is that they were not asked for the GPA verification since the BOG is based off of financial need.
