Last year in a last-minute decision I decided to take a gap year, at that point I already applied to two colleges and I was awarded a cal grant award. However, since I decided to take a gap year I didn’t confirm a school on the site and didn’t use the award at all so it’s just sitting in my account as “Award pending” for the years 2021-2022. Now that I’m actually going to college this fall do I just wait for the cal grant award to renew? I’m not sure if that’s possible because there is no school that could renew the award for me. Is there a way to cancel last year’s award and have it as if I’m an incoming freshman for the year of 2022-2023? Any help is appreciated
