State Grants - General Information
Grants are a need-based form of financial aid available only to undergraduate students. Completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required. State grants do not have to be paid back.
The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) awards Cal Grants. To qualify you must be a California resident. If applying for a Cal Grant for the first time, complete the FAFSA and a Cal Grant Grade Point Average (GPA) verification form. You can request the GPA Verification form from the Monterey Institute of International Studies. After the FAFSA is received by the Monterey Institute, be sure to mail the GPA Verification form to CSAC no later than March 1st. The March 1st deadline is a firm deadline, and applications received after March 1st will not be considered.
The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) also sponsors a Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Scholarship Program, a Child Development Grant Program, the California Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program and the Graduate Assumption Program of Loans for Education.
