How to Apply With the California Student Aid Commission

A Cal Grant is state-funded financial aid that can be used to pay for higher education in the state of California, and students can apply for Cal Grants by sending a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and a GPA Verification form to the Department of Education via the FAFSA and Cal Grant websites. Submitting both forms serves as a Cal Grant application. When the FAFSA is processed by the Department of Education, your location will be taken into consideration as part determining whether you are eligible for the Cal Grant.
