There are two kinds of Cal Grants you can receive at LMU — A and B — but you don’t have to figure out which one to apply for. Your eligibility will be based on your FAFSA or CADAA (California Dream Application) responses, your verified Cal Grant GPA and the type of California colleges you list on your FAFSA. If you’re a recent high school graduate you may qualify for a Cal Grant High School Entitlement Award or if you attended a California Community college you may qualify for Transfer Entitlement award.
