<p>Are UC Scholarships seperate from money awarded through a FAFSA application? I'm asking about the merit based scholarships that you apply for with the UC apps.</p>
<p>to my understanding yes, UC scholarships are separate from FAFSA. I believe the funds for UC scholarship come directly from the school. I know that UCLA has a Nov deadline for its scholarship app whereas FAFSA goes until March. </p>
<p>Hope that helps?</p>
<p>Yes, this does help. I’m also under the impression that scholarships are seperate from the FAFSA. I don’t plan on submiting my FAFSA app because of difficulty with getting parents info, I know lame but I’m just thinking worst case…seems like I still have a shot with getting money from a UC scholarship</p>
