I think I misunderstood the earlier post.

Your sister is currently getting a Cal Grant? If so, and you have the stats, then you’ll also get a Cal Grant.

You do realize that the Cal Grant can only be used in Calif, right? You do realize that it only covers the tuition at a Calif public univ? Right? You do realize that it is only a small grant towards a private in Calif, right?

Do you know what your sister’s EFC is? If not, please ask her and tell us what that is. Will she be in college WHEN you’re in college or will she have graduated by then or soon after?

Do your parents pay ANYTHING towards your sister’s college costs?

You have a few threads going and they’re not going to get you what you want. Alaska? Unaffordable and expensive transportation. There are a couple of UMaine directionals that offer low tuition and merit, but you’d still have room and board, personal expenses, and books…and pricey transportation costs from Calif.

I think you need to concentrate on some Calif publics. You want to be a teacher (If I remember correctly).
