Cal Grant Application Process
The Cal Grant application process is simple and does not take much time if you follow the below steps. We’ve outlines how to properly complete and submit your Cal Grant Application.
Preparation
1. Get an e-mail address if you don’t have one. Make sure your e-mail address is current and entered correctly on your FAFSA and the resulting Student Aid Report (SAR), and don’t let your inbox get full. Remember to check your bulk or junk mail folder before logging off.
2. Find out how your school will submit your verified Cal Grant GPA. Start the process early to get your GPA submitted by September 2nd.
3. If your school does not submit your GPA for you, you must fill out a paper GPA Verification form that the school can sign. Don’t forget to mail the form after both you and your school sign it.
4. Get a PIN, a personal identification number that lets you e-sign the FAFSA. If you’re a dependent student, ask one of your parents to get a PIN so they can sign your FAFSA.
