UCLA eFAN

<p>has everyone already received their eFAN from UCLA?
i haven't received mine.. so i'm getting a little worried.</p>

<p>I haven’t received mine either…</p>

<p>Me either. I called and they said they all should be available by the end of this month (July).</p>

<p>I’ve still been checking every day… lol</p>

<p>Okay this makes me feel a little bit better just because I haven’t received mine either.</p>

<p>Weirdest thing though, I applied to CSULA and got accepted and they sent me an email yesterday saying that they had changed my financial aid- in which they offered me a 5k grant. When I looked at my awards it said that I had accepted them but I haven’t. I couldn’t find a place to withdraw my application either. So I decided to simply reject all awards. But now that I have, I wonder if they will take that as me going there? Help?</p>

<p>By the end of this month? It’s already the end of July! I’m getting worried…</p>

<p>I know- It’s August already and I haven’t received mine!</p>

<p>Okay, I’m officially freaking out now. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HASN’T RECEIVED EFAN BY NOW?!</p>

<p>It says here that from “May 1 - September Electronic Financial Aid Notifications (eFAN) are generated for entering and continuing undergraduate and graduate students.”
[UCLA</a> Financial Aid Office - Calendar](<a href=“http://www.fao.ucla.edu/calendar.htm]UCLA”>http://www.fao.ucla.edu/calendar.htm)</p>

<p>I got mine in the middle of July.</p>

<p>If anyone wants to call the Financial Aid Office though, here’s the number: 310-206-0400</p>

<p>i still haven’t received mine either…</p>

<p>Thank you Rattus89! </p>

<p>Are they gonna notify me via email when it’s ready? ePAL does not equal eFAN right?</p>

<p>Yes, I was notified my e-mail.</p>

<p>ePAL (Electronic Provisional Award Letter) is not equal to eFAN (Electronic Financial Aid Notification)</p>

<p>I think the ePAL is to give you a preliminary idea of how much money you can expect to receive. The eFAN tells you exactly how much you’re going to receive from each source (Cal Grant, Pell Grant, scholarships, loans). Someone correct me if I’m wrong.</p>

<p>In my case, the amount of financial aid on my eFAN was higher than that on my ePAL.</p>

<p>I called. Waited the 10 minutes that it usually takes to get someone on the phone.</p>

<hr>

<p>FAO: Your file along with several others need to be reviewed by a counselor. Our goal is to release eFANs to all of you before school starts.</p>

<p>Me: What happens if you don’t get to do it before school starts? I can’t even afford to pay one unit out of my pocket.</p>

<p>FAO: I don’t know. We’ll have to come up with another plan. But we don’t know what’s gonna happen.</p>

<hr>

<p>This is really discouraging. They can basically give me no aid by the time school starts and I’d have to suck it up. I’m beginning to miss UCI’s full ride.</p>

<p>I don’t know how I’m gonna pay for my tuition if financial aid isn’t available by the time school starts… eFAN place come quicker!</p>

<p>rumor is that the students that haven’t received their eFANs yet… will receive it by the end of this month. keep crossing your fingers!</p>

<p>The END of this month? That’s crazy- people that are going to be living off campus will be at disadvantage when trying to find an apartment because they have no idea what their budget looks like… myself included :'(</p>

<p>Still haven’t gotten it. Am I the only one?</p>

<p>My eFAN has changed 4 times. I’ve literally had to reaccept the awards 4 times.</p>
