Need urgent help please, I'm still in the dark about most pre-college issues.

Paying for College

<p>Hi, I think this is my second time posting here and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'll do it anyways.</p>

<p>I have numerous questions for everyone that can help me answer them:</p>

<p>1) Why can't I log onto <a href="https://mygrantinfo.csac.ca.gov/logon.asp%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://mygrantinfo.csac.ca.gov/logon.asp&lt;/a>
even when I already sent in my FAFSA in January.</p>

<p>2) Why can't I log onto National</a> Student Loan Data System for Students
even when I already entered all the correct information?</p>

<p>3) Regarding the GPA verification forms for Cal Grants: I have already sent my verification form on 2/28/08 when will I be able to check how much money I'm going to get from this service?</p>

<p>4) A lot of my friends in school has already told me they know how much money they are getting in student loans, how do I check this information?</p>

<p>Thanks for everything, and I'm sorry if this isn't the best place to submit this new thread.</p>

<p>4} Your friends may know from their school's fin aid package, each school offers their own package, check with each school</p>

<p>3} You can look at the Cal Grant website, find the brochure that describes the financial parameters and see where you fit, based on the FAFSA numbers you provided- it will show you the various Cal Grants. Your cal grants will also show up on each school's financial aid packages. If you think you qualify and it does not show up, ask. Also, Cal grants will only go for Cali schools</p>

<p>2/1} I cannot answer this- make sure you are properly registered and using the right login and passwords</p>

<p>How do I check the school's financial aid package? For UCSD, I tried logging onto their website because I got accepted there, but when I clicked the financial aid preliminary notice link, it doesn't say anything.</p>

<p>Sorry for double posting but what kind of information am I SUPPOSED to have already gotten or can be checked online?</p>

<p><em>Edited</em></p>

<p>NOW LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND OUT from UCIrvine:</p>

<p>We have not received your 2008-09 Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).</p>

<p>If you have not completed a FAFSA you can do so at FAFSA</a> - Free Application for Federal Student Aid.</p>

<p>If you have already completed a 2008-09 FAFSA please review your Student Aid Report (SAR) at FAFSA</a> - Free Application for Federal Student Aid and verify all of the following:</p>

<pre><code>* UC Irvine, school code 001314, is listed.
* Your Social Security number (SSN) is accurate. If you completed your FAFSA using the incorrect Social Security number, you will need to complete a new FAFSA at FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid using the correct SSN.
* You and your parent(s) or spouse, if applicable, signed the application.
</code></pre>

<p>If all of these are correct, and it has been more than 5 business days since you submitted your FAFSA, please contact us.</p>

<p><em>edited</em></p>

<p>I don't understand what's going on, shouldn't UCSD and UCI already receive my FAFSA so shouldn't they already have an estimated amount for me?</p>

<p>I think you should have done 2008-2009...</p>

<p>Oh my god, I just realized what you just said rlm919. Okay, now I have an even bigger problem, how can I change the 2007-2008 FAFSA application into a 2008-2009 application? I'll just start a new thread.</p>
