The California Student Aid Commission is committed to our mission to make education beyond high school financially accessible to all Californians.

Whether you’re planning to go to college or get career training, there’s money available to help you pay for it. Here you’ll learn about Cal Grants and other student aid programs, their requirements and how to apply for them. Higher education is a smart investment and can open doors to a variety of career paths. We’re here to help you build a brighter future.


In compliance with the Governor's Executive Order S-12-10, the California Student Aid Commission will be closed three Fridays per month effective August 1, 2010.

The Commission will be closed September 10, 17, and 24. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
