Create a WebGrants 4 Students account to view and manage your state financial aid awards such as the Cal Grant and Middle Class Scholarship.

How do I read my financial aid letter?
Once you have received a financial aid award letter from more than one college, use this worksheet to compare costs.
While cost alone should not determine which college you choose, this worksheet will help you compare financial aid packages side-by-side and determine what out-of-pocket expenses you may have to pay.
Be sure to talk with the college's financial aid office if you have questions or concerns about your financial aid award.
