Yes, I am receiving CAL Grant right now, but CAL Grant for me times out after 3.0 years because I came into UCSB first year right off from high school with Sophomore standing so I am only eligible for 3 years of CAL Grant. I am a 3rd year right now so there will be no CAL Grant for me next year. National SMART Grant is being eliminated next year as well and I’ve only received National Smart Grant for one year (this year).

Does anyone know if regular students who are not transfer students who began right after graduating from high school are still subjected to this rule (by means of Community College and AP credits?):


Freshman - 18 quarters of eligibility
Sophomore - 15 quarters of eligibility
Junior - 12 quarters of eligibility
Senior - 9 quarters of eligibility


Thanks.
