The California Student Aid Commission will offer 2-day training events at 8 different locations in 2019 for college financial aid administrators. These free, 2-day trainings are designed to assist newer college financial aid staff who need additional Cal Grant instruction and help to better navigate the WebGrants system. Experienced college financial aid staff who would like a refresher course and recent updates are also welcome to attend.
