If you are a new or renewal Cal Grant recipient ensure you claim your award or have the correct school code listed on My Grant Info. Berkeley works carefully with its limited grant dollars in order to support as many students as possible.
We do this in part by setting a maximum institutional gift aid eligibility for each student that may be met by a combination of institutional, federal, and state grant resources. Your eligibility for institutional grants will change if you receive the Cal Grant. Not really. If you don't apply and we determine you would have been eligible, replacement grant funds may not be available.
Unless you are absolutely certain that your citizenship status, state residency status, financial status, or prior bachelor's degree make you ineligible for the Cal Grant and there is little chance of any of this information changing during the academic year, we encourage you to apply. The form is available online and at local high schools and colleges. Even if you are a freshman in college attending Berkeley, verification of your high school GPA is required.
Berkeley is your certifying school and will send verification of your High School GPA electronically.
