The Cal Grant Institutional Participation Agreement (IPA) is the managing contract between the California Student Aid Commission (Commission) and Cal Grant participating institutions. Postsecondary education institutions that would like to disburse Cal Grant funds to eligible students on their campuses must have an IPA on file with the Commission.
Institutions use the IPA to apply for initial participation, renewal, change of ownership or structure, or to update a current approval. Updates include changes such as, but not limited to, name or address change, new location or program, or change of officials.
