<p>So i guess most people already got a estimated financial aid.</p>
<p>I saw my today and the loans only covered about like 5% of my need. lol
I am out of state by the way. </p>
<p>Does UCLA not like to give alot of money to students, especially out of state?</p>
<p>with the cali financial crisis. no!
UCLA is giving out like no money at all (i heard)
i got a full ride for 4 years, but thats all my regents scholarship.</p>
<p>sucks that u get no aid though!</p>
<p>no pell grants or anything? :/</p>
<p>The UCs usually give no financial aid to out of staters.</p>
<p>i mean, the state of california is nearly going bankrupt!
why WOULDN"T they meet ALL YOUR NEED???hmmm??? :P</p>
<p>UW doesn't give money to OOS'ers either. Washington state actually subsidizes in-state student for about $2500/person for tuition so it keep the tuition down around $6800. Great for in-state, bad for OOS. California barely has the money to give to it's own in-state people unless you are low income. UCLA estimated costs have gone from $19000 in 2004 when my son started there to approx. $26400 in state this year with my third child being accepted. That is almost a estimated $7000 a year increase which to me is huge! I have found over the years that actual costs actually come out to be a little higher than the schools estimates.</p>
<p>I'm OOS and got 16k in university grants and 2500 in workstudy at UCR</p>
<p>$16k i grants is the max that they will give to instate students (with a zero efc), so that's the max they offer to OOS students. But, then few publics offer a lot of need-based aid to OOS'ers.</p>
<p>my EFC is 2341</p>
<p>pinkprincess,</p>
<p>unless you're in financial need, regents will not be giving you a full ride...especially not anymore.</p>
<p>UCR is being very generous to you....though you may not see it that way.</p>
<p>Oh I know they are.
I was just putting it out there.</p>
<p>UCR has no choice, who in their right mind would pay $45K/yr to go there?</p>
<p>People. people, people....if you are going to apply to a OOS public school it would behoove you to do a little research on how your state of choice is doing financially before you get your hopes dashed.</p>
<p>The public universities in CA are increasing their OOS admittees in the hopes that some of those are willing to pay the big $$ and help off set the dwindling public finds available to in-state students. Hmmm, go figure.</p>
<p>Yeah, unfortunately, California's kind of in a bankruptcy fiasco. So, generally that means no money for out-of-staters, and probably less money for in-staters. :-(</p>
<p>...btw, OP, you read HxH? :)</p>
<p>one reason you probably got in is because UCs need money from out of staters. Also Californians have to pay the taxes for the UCs so why should we subsidize a great amount for out of staters?</p>
<p>"UCR has no choice, who in their right mind would pay $45K/yr to go there? "</p>
<p>ROFL!</p>
<p>$0 in aid......... no work study, loans or anything either oos</p>
<p>how do you check your financial aid?</p>
<p>my friend got approximately $7000 less in grants (based on need) from UCLA, compared to UCSD. yikes</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm OOS, and UCLA covered all my need... in loans. which are the last resort in paying for college for me. and i really have to want to go there.</p>
<p>I dunno why I didn't expect it, given Cali's financial crisis as you guys have pointed out. I guess I was just used to the generous awards offered by private universities in Cali (stanford, usc).</p>
