Are UC(SD) Grant and Cal Grant the same source?

For 2011-2012, I will be receiving $11,787 as UCSD Grant, or UC Grant as what others generally call.

Since I’m in a good standing and UCSD has promised to disburse me the money, I have stopped to care about my Cal Grant status which is still in pending status for some reason.

Today I received an email from CSAC, saying that “If CSAC does not receive either a request for payment or leave of absence for the 2010-11 school year by September 25, 2011, YOUR CAL GRANT AWARD WILL BE CANCELLED”.

So my question is, do I have anything to worry about CSAC’s threat as long as the name of the source of my grant is UCSD? Or are these two grants from the same source but only in different names?

I appreciate any advise or explanation on this situation.

Thanks.
