How to Join CalWORKs
To be eligible for the Modesto Junior CalWORKs program, students must:
Maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 (both cumulative and semester).
Once in the program, you can continue eligibility as long as you are receiving cash
assistance (TANF) for yourself and you fulfill your responsibilities as a CalWORKs
program participant:
Attend all courses in which you enroll in and complete all coursework assigned each
semester.
Turn in a mid-term grade check.
Meet with a CalWORKs Counselor at least once, each semester.
Complete a FAFSA application each academic year (October 1st)
Once you complete our application we will contact you to schedule an appointment with
a CalWORKs counselor. During this 1 hour appointment, you will receive an introduction
to the CalWORKS program and create your educational plan.
