WebGrants is CSAC’s web-based grant management platform. Through this portal, institutions can manage their Cal Grant roster, upload GPAs, and run reports. All organizations and institution types should utilize one of the forms below to request WebGrants access.

WebGrants has 3 user types.  The only user type that submits WebGrants Access Request forms to CSAC are System Administrators.

WebGrants User Type Hierarchy

Authorized Official > System Administrator > Users

Authorized Official (AO) – typically administrators at an institution, school, or organization.  For high schools, this is usually the school principal. An AO does not have access to WebGrants.

System Administrator (SA) – person authorized to manage WebGrants access on behalf of an institution, school, or organization. The SA creates and manages user accounts.  There is a limit of 2 System Administrators. Only SA’s submit the WebGrants Access Request form to CSAC.

Users – individuals who have access to WebGrants and whose access is managed by the System Administrator. Users do not send WebGrants Access Request forms to CSAC.
