tion of your high school graduation to the Commission. Use this form to verify that you have graduated from
high school and meet this requirement for your Cal Grant. Read the information on the reverse side to help

Where do I submit my high school graduation certication?
Please submit this form to the address at the bottom of this page or submit it online at
www.webgrants4students.org.
What does completing all graduation requirements mean?
Completing all high school graduation requirements means you have passed all required
coursework and passed any required examinations, including the California High School Exit
Examination (CAHSEE), if required. When leaving high school, graduates would have been
given a diploma, not just a “Certicate of Completion.” If you are unsure, please contact your
high school.
What if I don’t have a diploma but I do have a graduation equivalent?
Instead of graduating, you may have taken and passed the California High School Prociency
Examination (CHSPE) or the General Education Development (GED) Test. A passing score on
either one of these tests is considered “the equivalent of high school graduation” and satises
the high school graduation requirement necessary for a student to participate in the Entitlement
Cal Grant program.
What if I have not graduated from high school or do not have a graduation
equivalent? What can I do?
You are not eligible to receive Entitlement Cal Grant benets if you have not graduated from
high school or achieved the equivalent. However, state law gives potential Entitlement Cal
Grant participants until December 31 of the award year to complete the high school gradua-
tion requirements. If you have not yet graduated, but expect to graduate prior to December 31
of the award year, keep this certication form and submit it after you have completed all your
graduation requirements. If you have not graduated from high school, or achieved the equiva-
lent, by December 31 of the award year, this Cal Grant offer is void. You would have to reapply
next year by the March 2 application deadline.
This certication can be completed online at www.webgrants4students.org.
