California Grant Programs

For detailed information on specific state programs, see the California Student Aid Commission's website at http://www.calgrants.org

Cal Grants A and B, the largest scholarship source for undergraduate work funded by the state of California, are administered by the California Student Aid Commission. Cal Grants A and B do not need to be repaid and may be received for up to four years. California residents who are ULV undergraduates or applicants for undergraduate admission should apply for these grants. The tentative maximum award for new Cal Grant recipients for the 2007-2008 academic year is $9,708.

Cal Grants A and B extended benefits provide an additional year of assistance for recipients who are enrolled in a teaching credential program. To extend benefits a student must complete a G-44 form, Request for Cal Grant Teaching Credential Program Benefits, available in the "Participants Forms and Applications" section under "Publications" at http://www.csac.ca.gov.
