Seniors: The deadline to complete the FAFSA is March 2nd. Please make sure to meet this very important deadline. If you have questions about specific items on the FAFSA, please call the free assistance line at 1-800-433-3243.
Part of the FAFSA is the Cal Grant Application. The FAFSA awards you free money from the government based on your income. The Cal Grant awards you free money based on your Grade Point Average and income. When you fill out the FAFSA, you will see a page that discusses the Cal Grant. It may ask you to print out a form to have your school counselor verify your GPA. This is not necessary. Please read below:
Cal Grant GPA
Verification
There’s no
need for Canyon Seniors to fill out a Cal Grant GPA Verification Form because:
Cal Grant GPA’s were electronically uploaded by Canyon’s Counseling
Department.WebGrants for Students
Are you wondering if your Cal Grant GPA has been received by the Commission? If you have filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you can go online and check the status of your Cal Grant application by logging on to the WebGrants for Students (http://www.csac.ca.gov/doc.asp?id=1305) and creating an account. This secure site will let you view the status of your Cal Grant application, update your address, view payment history or tell them you’re changing your school.
