<p>i apologize if there has been like a million threads about this, but i wasn’t able to find a particular thread that gave me the answer that i was looking for.</p>
<p>i’m going to be starting up my 5th year (specifically 2 quarters) at UC Davis and i was wondering how this extra year will impact my financial aid. will my aid even change? if so, how?</p>
<p>if there are any fifth years with any experience with this, that would be great! thank you guys</p>
<p>I’m currently a 5th year and I have financial aid. Ironically, I qualified for Pell Grant this year whereas in the past 2 years (I’m a transfer, btw), I didn’t qualify for Pell Grant at all. My aid hasn’t changed much at all, other than the addition of the Pell Grant. Of course, I did get an email from the financial aid office last quarter that I only have two quarters left (this quarter and spring quarter) before my financial aid eligibility would be up, but luckily, I’m done after this quarter. </p>
<p>Hey guys can you help me out? I was wondering if you guys received roughly the same amount of aid your 2nd 3rd and 4th years as you did your 1st year. Plz respond asap…before March 1st. Thanks</p>
<p>I can’t say anything about my 1st and 2nd year because I’m a transfer student, but I actually had more aid my 2nd and 3rd (current) year than my first year at Davis (I’m referring to how long I’ve been at Davis since I’ve been admitted as a transfer student, btw). </p>
<p>sopranokitty, just wondering did you qualify for the Cal Grants–do you know how they’re impacted for the 5th year?</p>
<p>No, I don’t qualify for Cal Grants, unfortunately (never did). 
My sister somehow qualified for a Cal Grant for the current school year, but I don’t know if she’ll still qualify for a Cal Grant since she’s going into her fifth year in the fall. </p>
