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

Yes I was awarded Cal Grant B for 2010-2011 but then I didn’t take it because I definitely didn’t need that much to pay my community college tuition which was only about a little more than $100. In fact, I only happened to be awarded for 2010-2011 after a financial aid staff had submitted my GPA for 2011-2012 in January, 2011. I have no idea why I have been awarded for 2010-2011 even though my intention was for 2011-2012. As long as I assured that my GPA had been submitted for 2011-2012, I really didn’t bother to ask around why.

So let me make sure if my understanding is right since this is a very heavy issue for me.

As nick_scheu and wwlink suggests, it’d be better to straighten out my Cal Grant issue to get a good chance of getting more financial aid $$ than now. And as far as I’m eligible for Blue & Gold, regardless of my Cal Grant issue, leaving it untouched, I will be covered with the promised financial aid amount which is $11,787 whatsoever. Am I right?
