How to Know if Your CalGrant is TANF-Funded
- A letter from CSAC will be sent to students through email, or mail, informing them that they have received a CalGrant payment which includes funds from the TANF program.
- The letter is sent to the email that was used when you applied for financial aid (FAFSA).
- Not all CalGrant recipients receive TANF funded CalGrants.
