California aid deadlines that also apply
University of California-Los Angeles does not set these, but California does, and they decide whether you get state money at any school in the state. They are separate from the dates above and are missed far more often.
- State aidin about 5 months
Cal Grant deadline for the FAFSA or CADAA, and your GPA
March 2 is the one California date that decides most state grant money. Filing the FAFSA (the free federal aid form), or the California Dream Act Application for students who cannot file a FAFSA, by this date is what puts you in line for a Cal Grant. Your GPA has to reach the California Student Aid Commission by the same day, and for most high school seniors the school sends it for you, so the thing to check is that it actually went. There is no separate Cal Grant form: the FAFSA or CADAA is the application, and a Cal Grant A or B can cover systemwide tuition at a UC or CSU outright.
If you miss it: Miss March 2 and you are out of the main Cal Grant competition for that year, whatever your family earns and however strong your grades are. The one exception is community college, which has a second deadline in September.
- State aidin about 11 months
Cal Grant deadline for California Community College students
California holds a second Cal Grant deadline open for students heading to a California Community College. If you missed March 2, or you decided on community college later, filing the FAFSA or California Dream Act Application by September 2 still puts you in the running for a Cal Grant competitive award. It is a smaller pool than the March round and the awards are competitive rather than guaranteed, so it is a second chance rather than an equal one.
If you miss it: Miss both March 2 and September 2 and there is no Cal Grant for that academic year at all.
