<p>My efan came for fsp, which i was told i would only have to pay 50 for my app, turns out i need to pay 876 in loans, ughh, what do i do? My efc is still 0 and so is my parents. It's still a lot for me to pay, should i contact them, and how should i address the fact that i can't pay 876 for a program that was supposed to be free?</p>
<p>bump 10char</p>
<p>You only need to pay 876 to attend UCLA and they gave you loans for that amount? How about you get a job? I doubt you will get many tears with all the budget cuts in this state especially towards education, and when earlier this year there was some article in the LA Times about how the UC schools wanted to take more out of state kids over in state kids for some extra, very much needed money</p>
<p>EDIT didn’t see “fsp”. fsp isn’t even necessary. If you can’t pay, don’t attend- nobody is twisting your arm and forcing you to go through it</p>
<p>yah, i see. haha thanks for yelling at me, but yes i guess that is alrite for a 4000 dollar program… i’ll just use some scholarship money since i went to the trouble of driving to ucla for a 2 hour test for the program. blah
how can i pay it online if it was in loans w/out taking out a loan?</p>
<p>$876 in loans and you’re complaining?! W.T.F?!! Seriously, that ain’t ****! If you don’t want to pay anything at all then go to Cal State LA. It’s cheaper. It’s in LA. It’s your kinda place.</p>
<p>An EFC of 0 does not mean you get to goto college for 100% free. You sometimes be given loans. My EFC is low and about 40% of my aid is in the form of loans.</p>
<p>Not sure if you are talking about college or something else, but regardless an EFC of 0 does not mean you are given a free ride. </p>
<p>That’s not even a lot for you to pay since its a loan. You won’t pay it until you graduate and have a full time job. By that time, you will be able to afford it.</p>
<p>Gotta admit, I’m with GrassBandit on this one. I would be happy as hell to get the deal you’re getting.</p>
<p>wow 876 for the whole year ? that’s only 292 dollars per quarter. i’m pretty sure you could pay that out of pocket by working a job over the summer never mind the loan.</p>
<p>It’s not for the whole year, it’s for an optional summer program to “prepare people for college”- LOL. You can probably get the same stuff if you are ACTIVE during your freshman orientation and ask other questions on this board (use your ~900 on something better like a trip or save it up for the school year for books, etc)</p>
<p>To clarify, i am not a dettached brat. The 876 loan is for FSP[freshman summer program] a 7 week program that costs about 4000 dollars. I was informed the only thing i would have to pay for was my application and books. So, to those in that program, or taking summer classes, how do i pay for this directly instead of going through a loan?</p>
<p>Altema is spot on.</p>
<p>You are still only paying (out of pocket, immediately) for apps and books. Loans aren’t considered as paying for it as far as financial aid goes.</p>
<p>Why do you want to know how to directly pay for it when you said in your original post that you can’t pay for it?</p>
<p>If its through eFAN, you can reject the loan on your eFAN page and will have to pay that amount probably on URSA</p>
<p>because that is my only option at this point, i suppose i could not go to the program, but ive already sacrificed time for this. and thank you, i will do that.</p>
<p>make the most out of it then if youre going to go. lose your inhibition and just befriend as many people as possible. its a fresh start and from reading your previous posts, how you can make yourself more comfortable in such a large setting is to carve out your own niche. if you expect people to come to you, you may or may not be disappointed. be proactive and who knows, maybe the people you meet this summer will be the same folks who you will be studying with in groups throughout college</p>
<p>you are a fountain of wisdom thank you. =]</p>
