UC Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan

Paying for College
1

<p>For the blue and gold plan they cant help cover the self contribution, but can they cover the federal loan sub. I would rather not have to take a loan.</p>

<p>The Blue and Gold promise only promises to cover the UC statewide fee amount…which is about $14k per year. If you’re planning on living on campus, etc, and the COA is $32k, then you’re going to get loans to cover those costs. You’re not going to be getting a $32k grant.</p>

<p>What is your EFC?</p>

<p>I can’ t find the efc but</p>

<p>Estimated Financial Aid Federal Direct Loan Sub $5,500.00 UCD Campus Fee Grant $525.00 Federal Pell Grant Program $5,550.00 Entering UG Scholarship $12,513.00 Total Estimated Financial Aid $24,088.00</p>

<p>I’m just wondering of blue and gold can find scholarships or grants to cover the loan. Rather then taking away from the ug scholarship.</p>

<p>Dam phone this should make it look better</p>

<p>Estimated Financial Aid
Federal Direct Loan Sub $5,500.00
UCD Campus Fee Grant $525.00
Federal Pell Grant Program $5,550.00
Entering UG Scholarship $12,513.00
Total Estimated Financial Aid $24,088.00</p>

<p>Since you got full Pell, then your EFC is 0</p>

<p>Your Entering Undergrad scholarship of $12,500 is the B&G Promise…that’s it. </p>

<p>You got a very generous FA package. There’s some expectation that you should have to fund some of your education costs…hence the loans. Were you given work-study as well?</p>

6

<p>thanks for your replies. No I did not get work study and the suppose it’s too late to apply for one. Thanks for telling me what I need to know.</p>

7

<p>hmmm…</p>

<p>When you submitted FAFSA, did you indicate that you didn’t want Work-study? If so, next year indicate that you do want it. </p>

<p>It looks like your aid will still be about $5k short…how will you cover that?</p>

8

<p>I did. Are supposed to tell you something about it?</p>

9

<p>???</p>

<p>You did what?</p>

<p>Did you indicate that you want work-study or did you indicate that you didn’t want work study?</p>

<p>When did you file FAFSA?</p>

<p>And how are you covering your shortfall?</p>
