<p>yeah the gift aid is like grants and stuff. Your gift aid was only $331?! That’s so little bit. Maybe cuz your parent’s income is high. My gift aid was almost $16,000. I have to take about $9,000 loans and that includes work study. My tuition is completely covered though. :)</p>

3

<p>Gift Aid $16951
My Net Cost $7890
Loans $4500</p>

<p>After loans, I’m still missing $3390, but I believe cost of attendance really varies for everyone right? I mean… I know that I won’t be need $1300 for transportation.</p>

<p>take a bike :]
and yeh, mine wasn’t that low either haha</p>

5

<p>Gift aid - 18991 or something (plus chancellors)</p>

<p>loans, 4500</p>

<p>Essentially zero cost, except for the loans</p>

Total Cost of Attendance $23,321
Parent Contribution $14,636
Student Contribution $50
Total Family Contribution $14,686</p>

<p>UCR GRANT $650<br>
FEDERAL DIRECT STAFFORD LOAN $1,985 </p>

<p>Yup basically all ur reciveing is 300 bucks, and ur loans.</p>

<p>I heard you can appeal your financial aid to get more money. I can’t seem to find the page to do that though. Anyone know where it is?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

8

<p>Isn’t there some kind of award revision link on the GROWL webpage?</p>

<p>Think you can try from there, although supposedly they only change if you tell them a change of circumstances or something</p>

<p>Although, mebbe they just might, I’m not sure</p>

9

<p>i just checked my growl account. is it still okay to accept the financial aid. i didn’t know it was updated and i emailed ucr about financial aid a while ago but no one responded.</p>

10

<p>wow ur a bit late That was due in may .</p>

<p>I got 15000 so yeah me 8000 in loans</p>

11

<p>So… I only got $300, if I want want to appeal this should I not click accept on my GROWL page?</p>

12

<p>i think you’re a bit too late…the loan acceptances were due a looong time ago
and even if you appeal i highly doubt you’ll get anything as the economy is in a horrible state and they’re even thinking about cutting UC grants by half or more for incoming freshmen</p>

13

<p>I guess and click on revise</p>

14

<p>18grand + 3500 subsidized loans</p>

15

<p>$300? I can sell my laptop for that much. In all seriousness.</p>

<p>Gift Aid $16,451<br>
My Net Cost $8,390<br>
Loans $6,390 </p>

<p>and the financial aid people are telling me that my aid exceeded the Cost of Attendance…</p>

16

<p>to attend its only like 10k. Then theres the housing, food, and etc lol</p>

17

<p>i know but the estimate for housing is 10 k while it really its 11k to 12</p>

18

<p>So technically how much are you guys paying per year?</p>

19

<p>I’m receiving 21k Total, without the loans. (If I accepted the loans… about 32k)</p>

20

<p>And suppose your college was 50k per year times four, that’s 200k
Minus 21k. Right?</p>
