Financial aid?

[The_Maverick]

<p>How do I go about checking my financial aid?
I looked at this page: <a href="http://www.finaid.ucsb.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.finaid.ucsb.edu/&lt;/a> and I tried looking at my status (upper right hand corner). However, when I try to acquire a UCSBNetID it says " • no records match the information you provided •" Now, this makes me think that I'm trying to view something that only CURRENT UCSB students can see. </p>

<p>Can someone point me in the right direction as to what to do? </p>

<p>Aid is of utmost importance when I make my decision of what school to attend (I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way!). </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You can't get your net ID for a few days after you submit your SIR. Until then I think you have to go through the admissions site to get to the fin aid stuff (and on another thread people were saying no information was posted yet). Good luck.</p>

<p>i hear there are alot of rich, or well off people at UCSB doese that mean people who need aid should get it easier than say...irvine or davis because general speaking (according to princeton review) they come from lower income families</p>
