UCI Financial Aid for change of majors

<p>I want to change my major to engineering but I am currently a junior and I have not finished all the prerequisites for the engineering major. If the engineering school does allow me to change my major after finishing the prerequisites, I will be a sixth or even a seventh year. Can I still receive the grants/scholarships for my sixth year of school, if I change into the engineering major ?</p>

<p>I spoke to the financial aid counselor but she was very vague. She said, " we consider students who need more time to complete their major requirements..."
Even the engineering department does not give me a straight forward answer. They replied with, " you can try changing switching to the engineering program after finishing your pre-reqs..."</p>
