UCSB unofficial Financial Aid Award question

I was recently accepted to UCSB as a transfer. While I’m excited, I’m also very worried now that I’ve seen my unofficial aid package. I’m a low income student and my unofficial award consists of only 5,000 from Pell Grant, with the rest of the costs having to be paid with loans. For some reason it did not mention cal grants nor the blue and gold plan.

I’m thinking it’s due to the fact that my fafsa was done after the March deadline and is actually currently being corrected to add in info from my 2014 taxes. The reason it’s so late is because my parent has been unwilling to provide her information on the application until just last week. Is it too late for me to receive money from any grants other than the Pell? Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately by submitting after the deadline, there is no guarantee for the blue and gold or any other need-based financial aid. You will definitely want to talk to someone at the financial aid office to see what can be done. I recommend doing that ASAP.

^ Agree. Call ASAP

Thanks both of you.
I called as you recommended and the person at the office said my only course of action is to try an appeal to possibly receive those funds.
