<p>I just found out that I’m not receiving any cal grant. I missed the deadline by couple days and sent a late appeal letter. It’s either they’re not accepting it or hasn’t processed yet.</p>
<p>Wait im sooo confused now… does the UCI Grant include the Cal Grant A??? i hope it doesnt, my cal grant A still says pending</p>
<p>Oh Ya!! FIFTY Cent for the whole year…</p>

<p>@Vyruz Reaper: Nope, the UCI Grant is separate from the Cal Grant</p>
<p>thanks nacho!!! thats awesome! how much is the cal grant A going to be?</p>
<p>i got 24,900 in gift aid so far with 7,400 of that being loans and the rest is scholarships and grants!!1 YAY!!!</p>
<p>
Finally! My $333.00 is no longer the lowest. :)</p>
<p>
Damn you. :(</p>
<p>Anyone else accepted to another UC and FA posted? How is UCI’s FA package compared?</p>
<p>Question is for present and past applicants.</p>
<p>@iceboar… i got accpted to UC Davis and Im getting 5,000 dollars more at UCI. The UCI Grant is also about 3,000 more and I got the Perkins loan from UCI and not UCD.</p>
<p>UCSD sucks. Im only getting like 8K from them and 5K of that is Loans.</p>
<p>I dont think im going to UCSD anymore. Its not that much better of a school than UCI for a 15K differnce</p>
<p>Vyruz Reaper - Wait im sooo confused now… does the UCI Grant include the Cal Grant A??? i hope it doesnt, my cal grant A still says pending </p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing. Gonna call YCI tomorrow.</p>
<p>is there a fixed amount for the cal grant? does it get adjusted based on financial aid package or based on the fixed amount of one’s calgrant?</p>
<p>@ tstudent, </p>
<p>lemme know what UCI says. If they are different, that means im going to get an extra 5K-10K for my Cal grant A. I would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY if thats the case :)</p>
<p>Lol, me too Vyruz!! For cal grant I still have the “application in process” status. I have no idea why it’s taking so long but I’m sure they’ll give it to me. UCSD gave me cal grant A worth about $7,700. I just hope UCI will give me the same amount too! It’ll be loads off my chest XD</p>
<p>I’m gonna call them up tomorrow as well.</p>
<p>For those of you who got the Cal Grant, did you do a GPA verification manually or automatically through your CCC? And did you send your fafsa to your current CCC too?<br>
Cause I don’t see cal grant on my Aid and I have gotten cal grant for the pass 2 years so far. I’m thinking maybe my school doesn’t do automatic GPA verification if i didn’t send them a fafsa to them…</p>
<p>Hey everyone…just off the phone with UCI. </p>
<p>There was a holdup with Cal Grant forwarding paper work to UCI. In my case my “UCI Grant” will be significantly lowered if I do receive the Cal Grant A.</p>
<p>In a way, did they mean that we should not expect the aid amount to increase.
They will lower the UCI grant award b xxxx amount and provide cal grants of xxxx amount?</p>
<p>Loopinc - The adviser didn’t clarify on that point. I’m assuming though that my aid amount won’t increase. I’m just hoping that it doesn’t decrease below what it is currently due to the Cal Grant.</p>
<p>If it decreases, then that would suck.
idc much, i just have to pay 50 cents this year.</p>
