The Art Institutes are approved by the California Student Aid Commission for students to receive Cal Grant funds under Cal Grant A, B, and C programs. Cal Grant programs require academic qualifications as derived from the Student Aid Commission Grade Point Average (GPA) Verification Form. Both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form and the GPA Verification (Cal Grant application) must be completed and postmarked by March 2 each year.

Cal Grant Subsistence Funds will be applied to the student’s account at the time the funds are received from the California Student Aid Commission. The student has the right to have these funds released directly to the student and not applied to the account. To do so, the student needs to provide a written request to the Student Financial Aid Office prior to the beginning of the academic quarter.
