<p>Hi there, I just got my financial aid package from Davis, got the Entering UG Scholarship - NH, and I had a couple of questions about it. I was wondering if anyone knows whether the Entering UG Scholarship is renewable for all 4 years, or applicable only freshman year. Also, is it awarded based on need or based on merit? Also, what does the NH stand for?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>NH stands for one of the Halls (buildings) where Financial was first computerized… or something like that. Can’t recall what N stands for… read it somewhere.</p>
<p>And Like you… wondering if UG scholarship is available for all four years.</p>
<p>Well if it helps answer any of the questions, it’s definitely not needs based. I got one as well, and I would not qualify for needs based, but would definitely qualify for merit-based depending on the reasoning (i.e. extracurriculars or leadership roles and involvement)</p>
<p>same question as well. My d has been at ucsd for 3 years with fin. aid and I have never seen the ug freshman scholarship for $4,200. What is this and is it for 4 years? Is it merit based? Do all freshman get this?</p>
<p>yea, i got it too. I am need based though, and according to this [Types</a> of Undergraduate Scholarships](<a href=“http://financialaid.ucdavis.edu/scholarships/Types.html]Types”>Undergraduate Scholarship Funds) that’s what its based off of</p>
<p>Is this for freshman year only? Is this merit based?</p>
<p>i emailed them asking about the following years and this was the response…
“The entering undergraduate scholarship is only for the first year.
But if you file the 2012-13 FAFSA by March 2nd 2012, you will be awarded the university grant instead.
Thank you

<p>will the university grant be around the same amount as the UG scholarship that’s only for the first year? also will the university grant be merit-based or need-based or both?</p>
<p>Anyone have any answers??</p>
