Cal Grant

Cal Grant is a tuition-specific, state entitlement award, funded by California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). You must have a 3.0 GPA or higher, financial need, and be a resident of California.

The following are Cal Grant award types PLNU participates in:

  • Cal Grant A Entitlement
  • Cal Grant A Transfer Entitlement
  • Cal Grant A Competitive
  • Cal Grant B Entitlement
  • Cal Grant B Transfer Entitlement
  • Cal Grant B Competitive

CSAC notifies new Cal Grant recipients whether they have been awarded an Entitlement or Competitive Cal Grant. Before a Cal Grant award can be added to a student's Financial Aid Award Letter at PLNU, the Student Financial Services Office must review the data provided by the student and parents on the FAFSA to make sure that the student is financially eligible.
