<p>My counselor did not round my GPA and it is off by 0.01. Should I give it back to him for him to refill or should I just send the form? We are supposed to round our GPAs for the Cal Grant forms right?</p>
<p>Depends what applicant type you are?</p>
<p>Cal Grants are awarded 2 ways.
Entitlement Grants & Competitive Grants.</p>
<p>“Everybody” within specific eligibility will receive an entitlement Cal Grant.
Entitlement Type 1: 2 Years out of High School
Entitlement Type 2: Transferring from a Community College to a 4yr University.</p>
<p>A total of 22,500 Cal Grant A and B awards are granted annually on a “competitive” basis for applicants who meet the general eligibility criteria.</p>
<p>Those competitive applicants are lined up in priority. A higher GPA moves you a step closer in the line of applicants. Your GPA will give you a certain amount of points.
A GPA of 2.0 gives you 30 points and 4.0 is 75 points.</p>
<p>Example…
3.00 - 3.04 = 50 points
3.05 - 3.09 = 51 points
3.10 - 3.14 = 52 points</p>
<p>If the GPA error kept you in the point bracket then nothing changed.</p>
<p>If you are and entitlement applicant you aren’t effected.</p>
