Cal Grant C *

For Vocational/Occupational Students

Cal Grant C

Cal Grant C awards assist with tuition and training costs at occupational or vocational programs. The award includes an amount for books, tools and equipment. If you’re planning to attend a school other than a California Community College, you also may receive a tuition award. Funding is available for up to two years, depending on the length of the program. To qualify, you must enroll in a vocational program at a California community or independent college or vocational school that is at least four months long. If eligible for the award, you’ll receive a Cal Grant C Supplement application in mid-April, which must be completed and returned by May 15. Supplements are scored based on your work experience, educational history and vocational aptitude.
