<p>Given that the UC California residency requirements are stricter than Cal State/Community colleges, and that the Cal Grant residency qualification requires someone over 18 to physically stay in the state for a year (with “basic” proofs but not like the strict UC financial independence requirement), is it plausible for someone to be classified as a resident for cal grant purposes and be awarded one while still paying the out-of-state supplemental tuition??</p>
<p>i doubt it. I don’t think you’d qualify for the calgrant if you didn’t qualify for instate residency. But maybe. According to wikipedia, it says you need to have graduated a high school in california and have been a resident when you graduated. So maybe if you were a resident when you graduated, and then left, and came back, you could get a calgrant. But i doubt most people fall into this.</p>
<p>wrt your larger question, i don’t think it’s plasable. I’d imagine that the same resident you’d need to be for calgrant purposes would be the same resident you’d need to be for in state tuition.</p>
<p>@Beyphy, thanks for your reply, but what about community college guys who were classified as residents their second year of cc, making them eligible for a cal Grant? When they transfer to a UC, and let’s say they didn’t make financial independence requirement (relatives in Cali etc.), wouldn’t the cal grant “follow” them even if they’re classified as out-of-state?</p>
<p>I’m asking cause that’s the precise situation of my friend from a CC who’s planning to transfer to a UC next year. His parent are not in California, although he has california residence by virtue of being here, having the california ID, over 18 etc. that has made him a “resident” in his community college.</p>
<p>Sorry if I didn’t tell the more precise situation.:)</p>

<p>i suppose it’s possible if your friend was at once a resident of california (or, most importantly, when he graduated high school.) Perhaps if H/H parents lived in california earlier and then moved away it would be possible. But if your friend never was a california resident, then they probably wouldn’t be able to get the calgrant anyway.</p>
<p>thanks for the info beyphy!</p>
