Do you know what Cal Grant is? If not that’s okay, here’s more info on what cal grant is!

Cal Grant is a financial aid program administrated by the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC)

A Cal Grant award is money for college you don’t have to pay back!

You must apply for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or CA Dream Act Application (CADAA) by the deadline and meet the eligibility and financial requirements as well as any minimum GPA requirements in order to qualify.

Cal Grants can be used at any University of California, California State University or California Community College, as well as qualifying independent and career colleges or technical schools in California.

Students, here is an update on the Student Loans Repayment.

The student loan payment pause is extended until the U.S. department of education is permitted to implement the debt relief program or the litigation is resolved.

Courts have issued orders blocking the student debt relief program. As a result, at this time, studentaid.gov is not accepting applications. They are seeking to overturn those orders. If you've already applied, they’ll hold your application. Subscribe and check here for updates: www.ed.gov/subscriptions
They will post information as soon as further updates are available.

Not sure if you have to provide your parents or guardian’s information on your FAFSA? Not sure if you are considered an independent or dependent student? Here’s a flyer that might help you determine whether you might need their information or not.

PLEASE NOTE: That being self-supporting by itself does not make you an independent student.
