The FAFSA is used to apply for both federal and state aid money. To be considered for the Entitlement Cal Grant, the FAFSA must be postmarked on March 2 for the coming academic year (i.e., March 2, 2007 for the 2007-2008 award year). The student must have a GPA of 2.0 or better and meet the California Student Aid Commission requirements. The deadline for the second possibility, called the Competitive Cal Grant, is September 2. This Cal Grant has much stricter GPA and household qualifications.
