Cal Grants are awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a prior bachelor’s degree. In recent years, Cal Grants have paid up to $9,708 per year towards tuition for up to four years. 

The deadline for applying for a Cal Grant is March 2, 2012. All California residents are required to apply for this grant. If you fail to apply and are found to have been eligible, you may be held responsible for the amount of the lost Cal Grant. See How to Apply for the Cal Grant for more information.
