Cal Grant Update!
In response to the fiscal crisis facing the State of California, a proposal has been advanced to eliminate all new Cal Grants for California students. For more than 100,000 students planning to attend California community colleges, public universities, and private/independent colleges and universities in fall 2009, this means that Cal Grants they have already been awarded (ranging from $576 to $9,708) may not be available. This also means students' ability to pay for their education may be compromised, and their plans may be in jeopardy. And it means that future students will no longer have access to a program that has assisted students in paying for their education for more than 50 years.
