Financial aid through FAFSA and Cal-Grant Programs

Financial Aid comes in many forms - Grants (free money),  Loans, Scholarships, and Federal Work study.  Seniors should start applying for financial aid after January 1st of their senior year.  Paramount High School has uploaded ALL seniors GPA for the Cal-Grant Verification.   Steps to see your Cal-Grant Info:

First you must fill out your FAFSA online - once your online FAFSA is processed - you can sign on to WebGrants for students. Create an account.  On that account you will see your Cal-Grant GPA that we submitted.  Make sure your information you submitted on your FAFSA matches the school information (You and your parent's names should all match on your social security cards.  Also if you move and don't update your address with the school - you may not see your information.)
