Whether a student is completing a bachelor’s program (BA), associate’s program (AA), a credential program, or a career technical education program, there’s money available to help! To start the application process start by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) or CA Dream Act Application (CADAA®). Then you will create a Web Grants Account (WG4S®) to keep track of your grants.

CADAA VS. FAFSA 

  

All students should create a WebGrants 4 Students (WG4S) Account

Students should create a WG4S account to monitor and manage their state awarded financial aid. After a student’s FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application is processed, they will receive an email from CSAC letting them know it’s time to create their WebGrants 4 Students account. WebGrants 4 Students (WG4S) will let students check the status of their state grants, and take necessary steps to secure their aid. Make sure a Grade Point Average (GPA) has been submitted to the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). All students will need to ensure their GPA has been submitted to CSAC. The best way to do this is by creating a WebGrants 4 Students account and logging in to confirm we have a GPA on file. All students must ensure CSAC has their GPA on file by the March 2 deadline.

For additional community college Cal Grants: Sept. 2, 2023 (date postmarked). The FAFSA form must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. CT on June 30, 2024. Any corrections or updates must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. CT on Sept. 14, 2024.
