UCLA Packet In The Mail Today!

<p>^I’m sorry yea it was in a separate packet, I was just a little too excited…</p>

<p>got both in the mail today. big gift aid. gotta turn in tax returns and it’ll probably plummet. oh well…</p>

<p>not really digging the decal. rather just a big UCLA. true blue sounds too…dodger-y…</p>

<p>yay got mine also!</p>

<p>I love how the majority of students are females!</p>

<p>@matt, sadly but true. Gamers don’t have time to study lol Well, I am one of them but I managed somehow ^^</p>

<p>sadly? I’m confused.</p>

<p>when do we have to turn in our tax returns</p>

<p>^
yeah, WHEN? my numbers are wrong so need to find out my new aid number!</p>

<p>I don’t think you have to actually submit your tax return, you just have to go to fafsa.ed.gov and update your tax section. That’s what I did and my ucla fao now says completed.</p>

<p>really? so they are basing the financial need on the “honor” system. Its hard to believee. </p>

<p>right now it is an ePAL (provisional award letter) and it turns into an eFAN, but i dont know how we get it into that…hmm</p>

<p>how much did it change you offer?</p>

<p>you have to make an appointment with a FA officer to discuss eFAN offers.</p>

<p>but dont we have to get our eFAN before we sched an appt</p>

<p>When I filed my fafsa, I wrote my actual earnings under estimated earnings because I already had my W-2 form. So the only thing I updated a few days ago was “Will file” to “Already filed” on fafsa.ed.gov and my earnings remained unchanged. So I’m assuming my actual FiAid will be the same as my provisional award.</p>

<p>k i found a better link…</p>

<p>idk lol</p>

<p>go to page 8</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.fao.ucla.edu/Publications/polguide_0708.pdf[/url]”>http://www.fao.ucla.edu/Publications/polguide_0708.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>lol that link is helpful but i still dont get it haha</p>

<p>It says after you submit your SIR, the FiAid office will start your fiaid process and request any additional info as needed. The eFAN will be available on MyFAO before the fall quarter and you will be notified by email with the exact break down…</p>

<p>very nice…thanks</p>

<p>since i provided the link i will say you are welcome ;P</p>

<p>^No prob…I’m just praying my eFAN is more than my ePAL!</p>
