<p>In the case of + & -, would an A- equate to a 3.7 when calculating GPA?
So when the Cal Grants are for students with a GPA of 3.0+, would a B- knock you out of the running even though it’s not technically a C?
Since I’m a freshman, will only my first quarter’s grades be considered since FAFSA and such are due on March 2nd while the winter quarter won’t end until March 18th?</p>

<p>You only need to submit Cal Grant verification once and that’s the summer/year before your freshman year of college. It only checks your high school GPA. You never ever have to submit a Cal Grant verification form after that.</p>
<p>You do, however, need to fill out a FAFSA every year. Your college GPA will not affect any aid you receive from Cal Grants.</p>
<p>Does that mean that if we are in college and get like a 2.5 we will still get calgrant, regardless?</p>
<p>^ Yeah. Experience talking here. (Though, I think there may be some trouble if you drop below 2.0… But I think at that point, you better worry about academic probation and being kicked out.)</p>
<p>So basically financial aid and college GPA have no correlation whatsoever?</p>
<p>I don’t know about no correlation, but they haven’t stopped giving me a Cal Grant despite my low GPA. (Let’s just say, I’m not in danger of falling into academic probation, but not out of the “worry zone” GPA.)</p>
<p>I looked at the official Cal Grant site, and can’t seem to find any info about it, unless you’re a community college student.</p>
