It seems like most of the other UCs have already released their financial aid packages. However, I have searched this forum and Reddit as well and have been unable to find a date by which the packages will be released. (One comment said April 1st but it still hasn’t arrived.) I’ve been checking the financial aid portal everyday, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any insight on what exact date the packages should come? Thank you!
My daughter and I are wondering the same thing. This is the only school we are waiting for financial aid on. We have it from all the other schools. It’s frustrating! I did read on another post that they thought it should start rolling out tomorrow. Crossing my fingers!
Does any one know if the financial aid package will appear on the applicant status portal? Or the UCI’s MyAid portal? Or will it be sent out via email or US mail?
I believe it will be posted on the MyAid Portal, with maybe an “update” from the applicant status portal to the MyAid?
Thanks. I’ve been continuously checking the MyAid Portal and the applicant status portal so that I won’t miss the financial aid package when it is finally released.
Can someone show me where I can find the MyAid Portal? I don’t see it on the Admitted Student Portal. Thanks
My Aid portal: Go the the UCI Financial Aid page at http://www.ofas.uci.edu and click on “Log on to My Aid”
New links are now added to the financial aid page, including “My Aid Award - view and accept my financial aid awards”, but when I click I get this message: “Your financial aid award is currently being reviewed. Your updated award should be available within the next fifteen days.”
Is everyone getting that message?
Yes, my daughter got the same message :neutral:
Same message. But at least there is now a link. Progress.
Talk about cutting it close to the decision date. This is terribly unfair that we have to wait this long before making a final decision. Am I crazy to think they should do better?
Two of my friends received their FA package today, but I haven’t, unfortunately. You all should check your portals to see?
Same message of having to wait 15 days.
No financial aid package yet but our portal says “we are expecting to begin awarding financial aid in early April”
My son got his FA package in his portal this afternoon.
My daughter got her financial aid information yesterday afternoon as well. Sadly it was disappointing :neutral:
Our financial aid packet arrived on the My Aid portal during our dinner (between 7:00-7:50 PM pacific time).
