<p>I have two questions:

  1. My parents didn’t fill out FAFSA because they told me they wouldn’t get anything after checking the tables. Do the zeros mean that my 4 years would be free or does it mean that I didn’t fill FAFSA out?</p>

<p>2) Not surprised by regents, considering I’m aiming for Berkeley anyways, but does the $7500 mean I will get $7500 times 4 which is $30,000? Or just for the first year.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>does no one know? does this mean I pay nothing or does this mean I didn't fill out FAFSA? or does this mean that they havent updated their site yet?</p>

<p>Regents at Davis $ 7500 per year for 4 years. It is essentially a merit award for those with no financial need. For those with need, the Regents is complemented with other grants.</p>

<p>At Berkeley, Regents are awarded after interviews as you know.</p>

<p>brassring, thanks that clears that up.
So I'm still wondering why all my expenses say "zero". Anyone else have the same thing?</p>
