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 in fewer than full-time units, the award amount will be adjusted. The Typical full-time annual SUG award for 2009/2010 is:
EFC 0-800 Undergraduate student $4,026 Credential students $4,674 Master's students $4,962
EFC 801-5200 Undergraduate students $3,048 Credential students $3,540 Master's students $3,756
Please note: SUG is awarded to assist with payment of registration fees. If your registration 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.
