Uc davis summer session financial aid

<p>I applied for financial aid for the Summer Session 1 and I did the “estimate your financial aid” and on that estimate it says that I have an unment need of 4,989 and “Your total Estimated Summer Financial Aid is $0”
I am a low-income student and will be taking 8 units. Anyone else on the same boat? I’m worried I will not get financial aid.</p>

<p>I’m also a low-income student, but I got $2000 in financial aid for summer session 1. Summer financial aid is also first come, first serve, so if it says $0, it means there’s no more summer financial aid available to be given out. The application first came out on April 29.</p>

<p>oh my god. Nooooo I’m screwed. Does it say 2000 in the estimate?</p>

<p>yeah, I got $2000 in the estimate and after I got my summer financial aid.</p>

<p>so you already received your disbursement? I thought it was on the June 14th when it gets dispersed?</p>

<p>I got an email from the financial aid office sometime before May 22 saying how my summer financial aid availability is ready to view. My MyBill account shows $4000 in financial aid ($2000 for summer session 1, $2000 for my summer abroad program). And actually, I get no disbursement, since all the $4000 will be used up. You only get disbursed if you have any financial aid amount left over after the financial aid office has applied it to your MyBill statement.</p>

<p>Oh okay. Yea I understand the disbursement, if I’m not mistaken we will have to pay about 500 dollars out of our own pocket to satisfy Summer Session 1 fees since they will give us 2000 dollars only.</p>

<p>What day exactly did you apply for the financial aid?</p>

<p>I just read on MyAwards that my package is being readjusted to reflect recent changes. Then I read on the summer session site that the offices will check each package based on the time they sent their app so I guess I will wait it out and hopefully they give me my financial aid because I applied last week.</p>

<p>I applied the same day that the summer financial aid application went out, on April 29th. Since I’m doing a summer abroad program through UCD, I needed to get as much financial aid as possible. </p>

<p>And how much they give you depends on how many units you’re taking and your current financial aid information, but yeah, generally around $2000 is what they give you (I got 2,800 last summer, though).</p>

<p>@ Cosmic: I applied last week, too, and I just got an email about accepting my Fin. Aid. I got three Fed Direct loan offers, but I don’t know what to do with them so I’m just leaving them there.</p>

<p>I checked earlier today, I’m not getting any grants. They said that grants ran out on May 12 and it was indeed on a first come-first serve basis. Oh well, it’s nothing, now I have to revamp my entire SUMMER PLANS. lol Applying to internships in LA relentlessly!</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s the same for me. The only form of financial aid I got offered are loans</p>
