What the date means
For the 2027-28 FAFSA, the California deadline for many state aid programs, including Cal Grant, is March 2, 2027 (date postmarked). Cal Grant also needs a school-certified GPA by the same day. Some extra community college Cal Grants: September 2, 2027. This is a FAFSA state date, not a promise of aid; your school may have its own date.
