<p>Wow, seems great. So coupled with your low EFC, the combined amount in grants and scholarships will cover all possible expenses like food, housing, transportation, etc.? </p>

<p>Also, do they pick Regents Scholars by major? Do you mind posting some of your ECs?</p>

22

<p>Hey congrats for the scholarship. Based on my stats i was sure i was going to get it as well, i have no financial need however. If nothing is posted today does that mean i was not awarded the scholarship? or will more people be finding out over the next couple of days? thanks</p>

23

<p>So nobody else has heard about regents??</p>

24

<p>Congratulations ggnore! I just checked, and I made Regents too. I’m really surprised, because I thought they required a 4.0, and I received an A-minus in one of my classes once. But yay!</p>

25

<p>I’m a biz econ major 4.0 and i just got the regents scholarship package too! i’m soooooo excited :D</p>

<p>hey ggnore, did u actually see the regents scholarship amount listed in ur epal??
Cuz in mine, i only saw Federal Pell Grant, Scholarship Recognition Award and Cal Grant. I did’t see any section for scholarship.</p>

<p>this is my gift aid in epal</p>

<p>Gift Aid
Federal Pell Grant $5,350
Scholarship Recognition Award + $5,090
Cal Grant + $7,126</p>

<p>Total Gift Aid = $17,566</p>

<p>That doesnt include the regents scholarship cuz in the booklet they said besides $2,000 honorarium, they’ll give us more if we have financial need.
So i’m wondering where we can actually see it??</p>

26

<p>so how did you find out you got it??</p>

27

<p>i got the mail with the congratulations letter and the booklet</p>

28

<p>hmcn: I got $2000 in Regents scholarship money, but I had a really low EFC. It says that they award $500-$2000 in Regents money if you’re financially needy, so maybe they didn’t think you needed it?</p>

<p>jmason, I found out when I logged into the New Bruins website to check my financial aid.</p>

29

<p>snailmail?? So it was not in your epal?</p>

<p>It’s the myFAO thing: <a href=“https://www.fao.ucla.edu/myfao/[/url]”>https://www.fao.ucla.edu/myfao/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I logged in to check my financial aid, and right above “Financial Aid Tracking” is another gray box that says “Regents Scholar.” I clicked on that and it took me to my congratulatory letter.</p>

33

<p>Man, I still haven’t heard back from UCLA or Regents =/.</p>

34

<p>bummer!! Congrats to you!</p>

<p>@carwatha: I do need it! My EFC is very low too. And i thought they said they’d give every regents scholar 2,000 regardless of financial need. and if we need more than that, the financial aid office would cover it.</p>

<p>this is exactly what is written in the blue booklet:</p>

<p>“Regents Scholars will receive a @2,000 honorarium regardless of financial need. If a Regents Scholar has additional financial need beyond the $2,000 honorarium, the scholar will be awarded according to the terms ser-forth under ‘Need-Based Awards.’”</p>

<p>“The Regents Scholarship need-based award is determined annually and is designed to supplement the Cal Grant A or B award, Pell Grant award and other scholarship awards. If the Regents scholar need in excess of the established Honorarium amount, the Financial Aid Office will award university scholarships and/or university grants to cover the remainder of the scholar’s need.”</p>

<p>carwatha, what did u see in ur epal?</p>

36

<p>hmnc, if you got it in snail mail, where do you live?</p>

37

<p>Oh oops, you’re right. Here’s what it says after my financial aid info:</p>

<pre><code>* Non-needy Regents scholars whose Parent and Student Contributions exceed the Cost of Attendance will receive a $2000 Regents scholarship honorarium.

  • Regents scholars who are eligible for need-based awards, will receive a combination of state and/or federal grants, and additional university scholarships to meet their need. The Regents scholarship will supplement the award package with scholarship awards ranging from $500 - $2000. The state and federal grant portion of the award is subject to change based upon review of your file by the Financial Aid Office.
    </code></pre>

<p>So even if you’re not needy, you should still receive $2000 - and I guess if you’re needy, they assume you already get grants, and give you from $500-$2000 to cover the rest.</p>

<p>Is epal the myFAO site? Here’s what my aid info looks like:</p>

Federal Pell Grant</p>

<p>$5,300
Scholarship Recognition Award</p>

<p>$5,140
