<p>Oh and never mind...I got the $750 too. :p I thought it was worth more.</p>
<p>how come i didn't even recieve this at all? were there other requirements besides what you listed?</p>
<p>As far as I know, those are the only requirements. They didn't send a letter about this or anything. For me, it was on the FAFSA website when I was filling out my application.</p>
<p>crackaonrice: You were supposed to have received an email about this from Financial Aid (as in FAFSA, not UCSD financial aid). If you didn't receive it, then chances are that you didn't qualify.</p>
<p>You need to have received a Pell Grant as well in order to be eligible for ACG. </p>
<p>If your income or EFC is too high and you don't get Pell, then I'd guess you wouldnt get the ACG either?</p>
<p>Mine was just confirmed last night.</p>
<p>i think i accepted it and it is confirmed. I did fill out the info they wanted, but i don't know why i was eligible other than my financial need....</p>
<p>if you guys don't mind me asking...how much was your approx EFC to be able to get this type of grant/scholarship?</p>
<p>Mine was initially 11k.</p>
<p>***? i totally killed all those requirements, my EFC was 8 thousand, and I received pell grant, so why didn't i recieve the ACG?</p>
<p>DId you update your FAFSA for it?</p>
<p>my EFC is $0 :P</p>
