See calgrants.org. The application is simple and has two parts: (1) your FAFSA has to be filed before the Cal Grant deadline, which is usually around the 1st of March. Don’t miss the deadline or you won’t be considered for the Cal Grant! (2) You have to submit to the Calif. student aid commission a GPA verification form. You get it from your high school. Some schools do this electronically for all their students; other schools have individual students fill out a paper form and mail it themselves. It also has to be sent by the March deadline.
