Hi, I’m personally broke as hell and an independent for tax purposes. I can’t find this answer on google, but I’m sure there is a clear answer. I will be applying for FAFSA and will be getting the max amount (at least based on the estimator) of Pell Grants. Anyway, I currently have a 3.9 GPA at my current CC. Probably 2 or possibly 3 F’s in my past schools since I was too lazy to drop the classes and ruined my life. I’m planning on doing academic renewal and applying for the UC’s. I probably should have over 2.0 GPA even if I didn’t do academic renewal, but how does completing academic renewal affect Cal Grant eligibility since all grad schools and some other 4-year unis don’t recognize academic renewal?

Thanks
