<p>Hey guys, I was just wondering you know how regent and chancellor scholarships are like an full ride to UCs cuz they cover for all need base things. Well, it really helped me a lot cuz yeah I need a lot but my EFC is still a couple of thousands I had to pay myself. It would be ideal that I get some other scholarships to cover for my EFCs but I heard that some schools simply take back some grants/scholarships if u get outside sources of scholarships. Is it true? Should i continue use my time to apply for scholarships or wat?</p>
<p>If you get outside scholarships, this lessens your "need," since you now have the money you did not have to begin with. At many schools, they will reduce initial need-based grants for outside scholarships. </p>
<p>If it is only a few thousand, and these UC's are your top choice/s, why not just take out a loan?</p>
<p>well i am getting alot for the scholarship and getting like 1000 for federal grant. So i woudln't mind just losing the federal grant like Pell grant or something but whats the point of applying for scholarships if they will just take away the scholarship i already have. I know taking out loan is not big deal but no one likes that haha and i don't wanna stress my family.</p>
