BLUE&GOLD Opportunity Plan!

<p>So my electronic Provisional Award Letter (ePAL) is giving me 12,000 for my first year from UCLA and a 5,000 Federal Pell Grant. </p>

<p>Problem is, the years after that I'll only have 5,000 a year to cover 26,000 dollars, and my family of five made 23,000 last year. It just doesn't seem right that UCLA would expect me to come up with 21,000 when my family is making 23,000 a year. I also got 1,551 from Cal Grant B.</p>

<p>Anyways, I saw this: <a href="http://www.fao.ucla.edu/Blue%20and%20Gold%20Opportunity%20Plan.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.fao.ucla.edu/Blue%20and%20Gold%20Opportunity%20Plan.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>"If you are an entering student who meets these criteria (below 60K income, filed FAFSA, CalGant, etc.) and your ePAL does not reflect sufficient scholarship and/or grant funding to cover your fees, rest assured that UCLA Financial Aid Office will make the necessary revisions to your award before the start of Fall Quarter."</p>

<p>So...anyone currently enrolled at UCLA care to tell me more about the Blue & Gold Opportunity Plan? Do I have reason to be worried about financial aid?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I'd like to see more info on this too, if anyone has prior experience.</p>

<p>No one? I guess I'll contact their admissions office.</p>

<p>PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THIS!
I am in the exact same dilemma!
28K for a family of 4 isn't that nice and I am in the same situation for the following years.
After you contact please let us know!
Thank you!</p>
