<p>how many get invited, how many get chosen, and how many end up matriculating? thanks!</p>
<p>[Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ucla+regents&l=1]Let”>http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ucla+regents&l=1)</p>
<p>How are Regents scholars notified? Is it with the decision, or separate? (out-of-state)</p>
<p>You have to check [New</a> Bruins - Freshman New Student Guide - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/NewBruins/NSG_Freshmen.htm]New”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/NewBruins/NSG_Freshmen.htm). It’s under “View your Financial Aid/Scholarship Award Information”. Register for a UCLA Login ID. Hopefully, at this point, the Regents congratulatory letter will be staring you in the face. Good luck!</p>
<p>I assume that if, at this point, the letter is not staring you in the face, you didn’t get the scholarship?</p>
<p>Welp, I slightly exaggerated. The letter won’t appear immediately after registration. If you don’t see “Regents Scholar” under the “Notice” heading, then it would be fair to assume you’re not in.</p>
<p>I found out I was a Regent’s Scholar when I went to look at my financial aid award. It was clearly listed right there. Quick question- does the money you get from the university cover food and things like that. For example, the cost to attend is $29,702 and my award is $28,885. Does that mean that the remaining $817 is all I’ll be expected to pay towards ANYTHING related to the university?</p>
<p>kwwboarder,</p>
<p>Congratulations! Getting Regents Scholar means all your needs will be covered.</p>
<p>Yes, you are expected to pay only $817 which should be the amount of your EFC. Link to the Cost of Attendance [Fees</a>, Tuition, and Estimated Student Budget - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm]Fees”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm)</p>
<p>Keep in the mind that the COA is an estimate especially on personal expenses. If you live very very cheap, maybe you won’t even have to pay the $817.</p>
<p>BusyMei, do you know if the Regents Scholarship will cover any summer sessions you plan on registering for at UCLA?</p>
<p>My brother <em>profited</em> a couple thousand $$ his first year, and also <em>profited</em> when he did summer session.</p>
<p>
Are you saying that Regents Scholarship covers expenses and fees for summer sessions if you have financial need?</p>
<p>I don’t know why exactly he got more FA than his expenses, but he did. I don’t think any of that was strictly speaking scholarship money, and I don’t know if he got extra in grants because of his scholarship. One caveat is that we live ~20 minutes from UCLA and he took the bus ($23 for a quarterly pass) from home.</p>
<p>Regents Scholars will get $2000 per year no matter what. But if you have financial need, all your need will be covered by additional scholarships or grants minus your EFC.</p>
<p>Analgesia,
I have no idea about summer session.</p>
<p>ThisCouldBeHeavn,
College FA uses what the college estimates as your expenses, not your actual expenses. Usually FA doesn’t give you more than the estimated expenses.</p>
<p>Check out the link I posted above for the UCLA estimate. In the Living with Relatives column, Transportation is estimated to be $1,959 per year. So for 3 quarters, your brother spent $69 instead. Good for him! Nice “profit” :)</p>
<p>the regents scholarship is VERY VERY VERY GENEROUS.
i had an EFC of 0… and lets just say i get way more money than I need, and it goes towards <em>other</em> ends… (:
seriously, bless the regents scholarship. it’s amazing!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was also referring to summer session</p>
<p>It says I got a scholarship of around 15000 for applying early as to the march 2 deadline for fafsa? If there is no regents scholarship listed is it safe to assume i didnt get it? Did you need to apply for the regents or would they simply hand it to you?</p>
<p>They sent applications out last month, if you didn’t get one you didn’t qualify.</p>
<p>I got the congratulatory letter in the mail</p>
