<p>My friend just got a grant from UCI how do you get one of those?</p>
<p>Was it a merit-based scholarship or a need-based grant? Probably got it through the Financial Aid office.</p>
<p>yeah it was through Finan Aid</p>
<p>how do u know whether itz merit or need based?? i got about $2800...kinda little</p>
<p>yeah im trying to figure out if it was merit or need based. B/C i didnt do any finan. aid</p>
<p>i got 4900 from UCI. is this amount given only once, or is it given every year?
does anyone know when awards will come out from other UCs especially SB???</p>
<p>I received about 5000 for this UCI grant through financial aid and was wondering if this is the same as the money from CAL Grant or are they two seperate things. On the CAL GRANT, it says a different amount of money. IF anyone ahs info, please share</p>
<p>are grants need based or merit based?</p>
<p>I got like a $2000 grant from UCR, and I put down that I would be living with my parents. I got a $4500 grant from UCLA, and I put down that I would be living on-campus. Therefore, I think it's need based.</p>
<p>man...did any of you get selected for the finanical aid verification?</p>
<p>I did similar_mindz, but I'm not going to UCI so I don't feel like filling out the crap they sent me. I guess it kinda sucks not knowing how much financial they would give me.</p>
<p>yeah i was selected to get my fin. aid verified......does everyone get selected or is it random?</p>
<p>It's random...I didn't send mine in yet, so I have no idea what finanical aid package they're gonna give me. :(</p>
<p>I should send mine in too....UCD and UCR both gave me a similar package, it was descent enough for my parents income. Hopefully UCI gives me about the same. Either way Im still going to attend Irvine.</p>
