UCLA Scholarship Recognition Award

<p>Did anyone else receive this?</p>

<p>I don't know what it is; I didn't even expect to get into UCLA let alone get this. I'm so happy! :D</p>

<p>Yes it’s for submitting everything (FAFSA, etc) on time. if you hover over the name of the scholarship on your online provisional FA letter, it says this.</p>

<p>You should have seen it (though probably unrecognized) in your preliminary finaid statement. It’s an award they give you (aid depends on need and GPA) if you’ve submitted your FAFSA by the deadline. A lot of people on here have received it.</p>

<p>Don’t feel too special.</p>

<p>Hahaha just kidding.</p>

<p>Oh…because I was thinking, maybe if my application was actually competitive to UCLA, I might have a shot at getting into UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>You sure everyone gets this?</p>

<p>No don’t listen to edelynly!! If you got it, you are SPECIAL! Period!</p>

<p>how much was yours? I’m curious. I didn’t know GPA was a factor. Mine was $4,615.</p>

<p>mine was $6,043. not bad ^_^</p>

<p>^How much did you get for pell/cal grant?</p>

<p>I read this one PDF thing I found on their website and it says the awards are need- and academic-based. The lowest amount they give is $100, I believe.</p>

<p>Haha oh my gosh Matt. You’re just bitter.</p>

<p>I received a little over $5000 I think.</p>

<p>Hi edelynly, I’m kidding… I’m not bitter…
But why the hell is everyone getting more than me??
I only got $2,373 for the scholarship recognition award!!! I’m poor dammit!</p>

<p>Mine is $14,258…but i’m not poor (i don’t think?)</p>

<p>$4,615 for the scholarship (I’ve got a 4.0?) and $10,000 cal grant. Not bad, I suppose.</p>

<p>RileyJohn, did you get pell grant as well?</p>

<p>Federal Pell Grant $5,500
Scholarship Recognition Award + $4,700
Cal Grant + $10,302</p>

<p>Not too shabby.</p>

<p>I got $5550 for Pell, $10,302 for Cal Grant and $2,373 for Scholarship = $18,225</p>

<p>Matt, I know. I’m playing with ya.</p>

<p>@ecullen, I doubt anyone gets that much from the scholarship. There is a specific row for the Recognition aid.</p>

<p>And I lied. Here’s mine = $5550 (Pell) + 4650 (Scholarship) + $10302 (Cal Grant)</p>

<p>^ I think he meant total value…</p>

<p>I got $4844 so happy!</p>

<p>lol Evan they gave me exactly $50 less than you. hahahaha</p>

<p>I got a pell grant from Davis (like $1,000) but not from UCLA. WOW pell grants can be $5,500? Socialism at its finest!</p>
