Fifth Year Cal Grant Extension
STEP teacher candidates who received Cal Grant A or B as an undergraduate student may be eligible for a fifth year of Cal Grant funding. The annual award amount is the same as the amount the student received for each undergraduate academic year.
The Financial Aid Office automatically considers eligibility for Cal Grant funds when the student applies for financial aid for STEP.
