<p>within the past few days (like maybe 3 days), my berkeley undergraduate scholarship went up by about $10,000. did anybody else's change??? does anybody know why it changed?? im really shocked and finding it somewhat hard to believe berkeley just gave me ten thousand more dollars.</p>
<p>lol jackpot! </p>
<p>anyway, i didn’t opt out of SHIP and i’m supposed to get $1400 or so in grants to cover it…but they didn’t give it to me yet. what gives?</p>
<p>Are you receiving Cal Grant B? That might explain the change I think.</p>
<p>dom - im not sure 
i opted out of SHIP. maybe they just haven’t had time to change it yet cause I know insurance is still under my budget</p>
<p>steven - no i didnt receive cal grant b. its my “berkeley undergraduate scholarship.”</p>
<p>My son’s financial aid site had some strange stuff happening on it. We called the financial aid office and they told us the site was a new system and that it was inaccurate. I don’t know if that is the case for you, but you should check with the financial aid office to verify the accurate amount of your undergraduate scholarship.</p>
<p>Yeah my Undergrad scholarship shot up to $15k. I’m confused on why it went up $10k all of a sudden.</p>
<p>Also, it’s not deducting SHIP even though I waived out of it. And my Cal Grant isn’t confirmed yet since I’m an FPF student.</p>
<p>^^^ If your Cal Grant isn’t confirmed, that may be why your undergraduate scholarship shot up $10,000. That happened in reverse to my son. His Berkeley Undergraduate Scholarship was for $15,400. When his Cal Grant was confirmed, it went down $10,000.</p>
<p>
Aww that sucks. I was getting excited on the fact that I had practically a full ride at Berkeley. If only…</p>
<p>hahahaha… I hear you on that one… Hopefully you still got a pretty good deal. :-)</p>
<p>yeah mine isn’t deducting SHIP even though I waived out of it too, but I bet it will eventually right? I think they just haven’t got to processing the waivers yet, but I don’t know for sure.</p>
<p>if u waived out of SHIP, ur financial aid package will not be reduced. but if u kept it, it is supposed to increase…but mine didn’t</p>
<p>The fee for SHIP will be removed. If you look on your ebill you should already see the deduction.</p>
<p>^ahh I see thank you momfirst!</p>
<p>You’re welcome! :-)</p>
<p>^ Ahh, that makes sense because my financial aid package increased about $1,500.</p>
<p>awwh man that sucks i was all excited shoot…but yeah when i added up my cal grant with my original berkeley undergrad scholarship, it came out to the exact new amount</p>
