I just found out about a week ago that I was accepted into UCLA and additionally was offered positions in Fast Track engineering program and CEED (Center for Excellence in Engineering and Diversity). I’m super excited and love this school but a huge problem is finances since it is out of state. I have emailed those in charge of these programs to ask for more details about any kinds of scholarships because both offered some form of them, but I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about these programs or a way to get a merit based scholarship through these. Thanks!
Unfortunately the financial aid package you get is what they can offer. You can appeal if info on the fafsa is no longer current. Those programs do not offer additional money but you can apply for merit scholarships through the school of engineering once you are in your second quarter of freshman year but those are competitive.
