2024 Cal Grant Regional Trainings
The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) provides virtual trainings and webinars.
Live webinars will cover the same content as the one-day training event, presented in three sessions of 2-3 hours each. The sessions do not need to be attended consecutively. However, all three sessions must be attended in order to receive a Certificate of Completion. In addition, CSAC offers pre-recorded Cal Grant Regional Training videos.
These free trainings are designed to assist financial aid administrators who need updated Cal Grant instruction, new program information and help to better navigate the WebGrants system. Topics include Cal Grant program updates, institutional eligibility, Cal Grant payment reporting, program cycles and types, reconciliation and audits, navigating WebGrants, reports and tools, Chafee Grant updates and Middle Class Scholarship. For those who are new to the Cal Grant program, supplemental materials and training videos will be provided prior to each training. Additionally, CSAC will continue to offer live webinars on a variety of relevant subjects.
