Does FAFSA pay more if living on campus?

The maximum Cal Grant you’ll be eligible for when you start attending Cal Poly Pomona will be based on the tuition and fees only. Cal Grants are not adjusted to take into account a student’s living expenses. The award amounts are the same for every student, whether they live on campus or commute from home.

You may or may not be awarded additional grant money from Cal Poly Pomona itself, but I wouldn’t count on it. If you have extra grant money now, save it!
