<p>California students have less than a week left to send in their applications for the Cal Grant, the state’s most generous – and most accessible – financial aid program.</p>
<p>The Cal Grant is not a loan. So the student doesn’t need to pay it back. It can provide up to $9,708 a year for tuition and fees for a four-year school and up to $1,551 for community college. Students enrolling in special technical programs can also receive up to $2,692.</p>

 The American Chemical Society (ACS) Scholars Program is now accepting applications from African-American, Hispanic/Latino and American Indian students who are pursuing or intend to pursue degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, chemical technology or related majors.

 Renewable awards of up to $5,000 per year are given to qualified high school seniors, community college students and college freshmen, sophomores or juniors.
