CAL GRANT/FAFSA STATUS  

Go to  "https://mygrantinfo.csac.ca.gov/logon.asp" and set up your account to see what your status will be.  Follow instructions or contact me for interpretation.  If you sent your grant information in via mail, waith 7-10 days to check your account.

Go to "fafsa.ed.gov" to print out your EFC information and make certain you have updated your answers if necessary.  Once you are accepted into a college, that college will send you information on how they will offer you financial aid.
