<p>I’m graduating this year in highschool with a 1.86 gpa so I do not qualify for any calgrants. Will I be able to get back the one year of calgrant that I will not get this year as a freshmen.
If I don’t get it this year, then I will be in a disadvantage than that of the other students.
Note: Cal grant is a four year grant.</p>
<p>Cal Grant eligibility years is based on your class standing. So no, you won’t have a year returned to you. The qualifications are there to ensure the money is fairly distributed to those who are seen to be less likely to waste an education.</p>
<p>Further, Cal Grant cannot be used at a CCC except for Cal Grant B’s access amount. There is no tuition/fee assistance at CCCs. Their is BOG waiver if you are in a situation where your family is especially in need of financial assistance. But this requires pretty darn low income.</p>
<p>The best you can do right now is buckle down and focus on your studies to get better grades at a CCC. Then you can apply to transfer and apply for the transfer entitlement grant. This will be based solely on your CCC grades if you have the correct number of units.</p>
