​The California Student Aid Commission has created WebGrants 4 Students (WGS) just for you, the student. The goal is to provide you with the resources, information and tools needed to assist you with the college financial aid process.

​

WGS will allow you to:

• Manage your Cal Grant and/or Chafee account(s) online by letting you view updates

• Make school changes

• Make address changes

• Make corrections, and post leave of absence requests

• ​Check your GPA submissions 

It is important for you to understand that your WGS account does not replace your School or FAFSA accounts. Each account must be monitored and managed independently.
