* My award showed the Pell Grant in addition to the blue and gold grants. Once they realized I was eligible for Cal grant, they replaced the uc grants with cal grant. The 1551 for cal grant b and the pell grant were still awarded on top.*

Yes, you get Pell is you qualify for Pell. However, that doesn’t mean that a student will get a grant or grant combo that equals “tuition”…AND also get Pell. The amount that equals “tuition” may include Pell. And, no grant is actually called “Blue and Gold”.

What are the amounts of each of your grants?

Cal Grant:______

Pell Grant:______

UC Grant:________
