(California)

Cal Grants are a good place to start looking for college funding in California. They are for students pursuing an undergraduate associate’s or bachelor’s degree. If you are a high school student who qualifies and fills out the forms on time the money is guaranteed. The awards offered can pay up to the ten thousand dollar range, though most are under five thousand.

The Cal Grant A, just one of many they offer, can be used for fees at public and private colleges. This grant covers fees from thirty three hundred dollars up to seventy seven hundred.
