CAL Grants
Next Steps After Submitting FAFSA/CADAA
Check your Cal Grant status
Click Create an Account.
Fill out the information - this is different from FAFSA/CA Dream Act Application so create a new username.
You will receive an email (at the email address you listed on FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application). Follow the instructions in the email to activate your account.
Once you log in, you will select the tab for the appropriate Academic Year. You will be able to see your application status, the planned school of attendance (to be changed later), and amount of award and remaining eligibility.
Click on Show Details to view application status and any follow up items.
If it shows that your GPA did not match your financial aid application, contact Mr. Quintana in the College & Career Center at collegeandcareer@nhusd.k12.ca.us
