<p>I was a little sketchy at first, but I can assure it’s legit. I was just called to give my opinion about this in daily bruin I think? Or some newspaper. </p>

<p>PS for those of you going to UCLA, did you accept the housing offer yet?
I’m a wee bit confused? </p>

<p>(PPS Mine is to Hedrick Plaza lol)</p>

42

<p>my GPA 3.96…however, I did not get email and mail…so sad…hahah</p>

43

<p>wait i am confused, i got something in the mail (certificate about a scholarship ) but no email, are they two different things?</p>

44

<p>I received around 15,500/ year in gift aid.
2300 Fed. Pell grant, 2000 in scholarship, and 11500 in cal grant.
Not too shabby, getting a first-rate education for only around 10,000+ a year.</p>

<p>Question:</p>

<p>I’m considering staying a third year in order to add more courses and a minor…how would that affect my award aid?</p>

45

<p>4.0 and I got it along with the scholarship recognition award. I have a full ride now! :D</p>

46

<p>This is a bummer. My friend’s efc=0 and still with her 4.0 for biz econ she didn’t get it. I wonder how they chose who got this scholarship anyway…</p>

47

<p>i won like 1,736$ … thats it! =(</p>

48

<p>Found this article on the scholarship</p>

<p>[The</a> Daily Bruin :: New fund for UCLA Achievement Scholarships will aid incoming first-years and transfers](<a href=“http://www.dailybruin.com/index.php/article/2011/05/new_fund_for_ucla_achievement_scholarships_will_aid_incoming_firstyears_and_transfers]The”>http://www.dailybruin.com/index.php/article/2011/05/new_fund_for_ucla_achievement_scholarships_will_aid_incoming_firstyears_and_transfers)</p>

<p>I got a scholarship from the engineering department. Henry ClayScholarship, 5K. anyone got this? I didn’t expect any scholarship.</p>

<p>Kirk Kerkorian was the donor of this fund; Lincy is a combination of names of his two daughters – something like Marcy and Linda. He used the fund to help Armenians after their country’s earthquake, etc, and generally to do public good. Great man…</p>

<p>Out of the blue, he just turned the funds over to UCLA, 1/2 of which is unrestricted, the other 1/2 to do public good, under UCLA’s discretion.</p>

<p>I just hope UCLA is wise with the $$ and doesn’t deplete it quickly. Public school administrators, esp UCLA’s, are not really $$ wise. Some should be used for growth, etc.</p>

<p>I don’t understand the post two-year evaluation thing.</p>

51

<p>i have a 4.0 right now but will probably get a B in a writing class this semester. Is there any way for this scholarship to be taken away because of that?</p>

52

<p>@ BRUINBOUND22:</p>

<p>I had the same problem. Only B out of 6 classes. I called and they said “No, you’ll be fine” with absolutely certainty. Still sucks to be getting one B out of all this time at CC. Oh well!</p>

53

<p>Hi,
I am going to transfer to UCLA this fall. Do you still get the UCLA Achievement Award Scholarship $9,200? Did you get B in the last semester of your CC? How do you like UCLA? Thank you very much!</p>

54

<p>Seems like commuters don’t get the scholarship. And technically, this scholarship should be called the UCLA Grant because it’s based on need.</p>

56

<p>when do these go out?</p>

57

<p>Do we have to submit the SIR before we receive these notifications?</p>

58

<p>First, Congratulations to all who got scholarship!
My question is: May I still apply for this program or any kind scholarships? Cuz I did not apply any when I submitted UC application. I do have a high GPA and a lot extracurriculars.
Is it too late? Or may I apply for scholarship for my second year at UCLA or any other UCs? </p>

<p>Thank you guys!!!</p>

<p>it’s not even a scholarship. it’s a UCLA grant. They just call it a scholarship. It’s very misleading.</p>

<p>it says that only incoming freshmen will get this scholarship for 2012-2013.</p>
