<p>@Ella89 Applicants with an EFC of 5,273 or higher don’t qualify for the pellgrant.</p>
<p>My EFC is 16,000 so I don’t qualify for the pellgrant, but I make under 80k as an independent so I qualify for Blue & Gold.</p>
<p>so a person with an EFC over 30000 basically doesnt get any financial aid? ZERO??</p>
<p>okay UCI is about 28K overall and I got 8K in UCI Grant, and 20K in loans</p>
<p>EFC of about 11k, and I qualified for B&G (Dad made under 80K, CA res, did FAFSA/applied for Cal Grant, etc.) but I didn’t get the same amount of UCI grants that every other B&G person got :((( what’s the deal?? I thought it was supposed to cover system-wide fees (which is around 12k…)?</p>
<p>Regents Scholarship updated.</p>
<p>Gift Aid
Federal Pell Grant $5,550.00 Unconfirmed
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant $300.00
UC Irvine Grant $13,607.00
The Regents’ Scholarship $1000.00
Total Gift Aid $20,457.00 </p>
<p>Student Work-Study
Federal Work-Study $1,500.00 </p>
<p>Loans
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan $5,500.00<br>
Federal Perkins Loan $900.00
Total Loans $6,400.00 </p>
<p>Total Aid in My Aid Award $28,357.00 </p>
<p>My EFC = $0
Status: Independent</p>
<p>So it looks like Regents’ Scholars get an extra $1000</p>
<p>In my case, they gave me an additional $1000 for Regents and then lowered my Perkins loan by $1000. I was really hoping to get that full ride like they did last year and only have to pay $0.50 
Ah well, I guess this is good enough?</p>
<p>^dang. That’s still good though, can’t be mad at free money.</p>
<p>Federal Pell Grant: 4,600
The Regents Scholarship: 1,000
The UC Irvine Grant: 8,171
Total Gift Aid: 13,171</p>
<p>Work Study: 1,500</p>
<p>Federal Direct Subsidized Loan to meet need: 5,500
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan - Optional: 943
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan to meet need: 571</p>
<p>Total Aid in My Aid Award: 22,285</p>
<p>So I have to come up with 8,514.00 to attend.
Is this a pretty normal package?
My EFC is $934, dependent student, with another sibling attending college.</p>

<p>how did Grimes99 and jvesco22 get almost identical packages? Grimes are you also a independent with a EFC of 0?</p>
<p>Yup.</p>
<p>10character</p>
<p>Ditto, I think 19457 is some kinda arbitrary cap on it… Also, when I applied I put on campus as my housing plan as I didn’t (and still don’t) have a clue what exactly I’m doing lol.</p>
<p>Is blue and gold part of any of these numbers?</p>
<p>I think B&G is included in the “UC Irvine grant”</p>
<p>Is it too late to apply for the UCI Regent’s Scholarship?</p>
<p>^lee,</p>
<p>For UCI you actually don’t apply for the Regents Scholarship. It’s something they will give you automatically after acceptance. If you received it, you’ll see a “Regents Scholar” bar on the left side of your UCI admissions login page.</p>
