Cal Grant Deadline is March 2, 2009
The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) administers the Cal Grant Entitlement Program, which provides up to $9,700 to qualifying high school seniors to help pay for their higher education.
Cal Grants do not have to be paid back and can be used for tuition, room and board, and books and supplies at any qualifying college, university or career or technical school.
To qualify for the 2010 program students must have submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 2, 2010. CSAC has step-by-step directions and a timeline available on their website.
There are three Cal Grant options. Option 1 is for graduating high school seniors that meet the financial requirement and have a 2.0 grade point average for Cal Grant B or a 3.0 grade point average for Cal Grant A. Option 2 is for California high school graduates that are transferring from a community college to a four-year institution with a 2.4 grade point average. Option 3 is for students that do not qualify for Options 1 or 2, but who still can compete for other Cal Grants. More information is available on the California Student Aid Commission website.
