State University Grant (SUG)

SUG is a state grant awarded by CSU, Chico to California residents who have an eligible EFC (Expected Family Contribution). Both graduate students and undergraduates may be eligible for SUG. Since funds are limited, it is important to apply by the March 2 priority deadline.

SUG awards are based on full-time enrollment of 12 units or more for undergraduate and credential students, and eight units or more for master's degree students. If you are enrolled half-time, the award amount will be adjusted. The typical full-time annual SUG award for 2011/2012 is listed in the table below.  Estimated award offers for 2011-2012 are based on the same figures, which are subject to change.

EFC 0-800

Undergraduate student	$5,472
Postbaccalaureate student	$6,348

EFC 801-4000

Undergraduate student	$4,032
Postbaccalaureate student	$4,928

Please note: SUG is awarded to assist with payment of tuition fees. If your tuition fees are being waived or paid by another agency, such as Vocational Rehabilitation, you are not eligible for SUG. If you receive a SUG and are later notified that another source will pay your fees, such as a fee waiver, third party payment, or a Cal Grant, you will be required to repay the SUG.
