Son going to California to continue degree

Options
Hi, just after some advice/tips please.  My son has been accepted to continue his International Business studies degree at California State Uni at Long Beach.  Does anyone know if there are any grants/financial help for this? He's applying for his normal maintenance loan but I think he's still going to be short as it's so expensive over there.  he's still waiting to hear about accommodation on campus, but what are his options if this doesn't come through? Also any general tips regarding what to take with him bearing in mind luggage is going to be limited....thanks :)
