UCSD scholarships: Regents and others?

Are all applicants automatically considered for any scholarships through UCSD if they just fill out the normal application?

Yes in the past. I don’t know about now. My son automatically received UCSD regents almost 10 years ago.

Yes, we’re notifying regents applicants next week through calling campaign. Disappointed though because we used to notify decisions + regents before :frowning:

I am an admissions office volunteer.

Oh, so there will be more Regents Scholars announced? I thought all notifications of being awarded Regents went out with acceptances…

@crttrlvr Do you know anyone accepted regents yet? I heard that not all fin aid awards went out.

@ucsdcompsci No, I don’t, but I’m not really very informed about it either so the fact that I haven’t heard doesn’t mean much. I got the idea that they had already been awarded because of this statement on the website “UC San Diego notifies recipients of Regents Scholarships in March, along with the admission notice”. I thought that meant if one was awarded Regents it would be on their admission letter or on the portal when the student was notified of admission. The portal also says that financial aid and scholarships will be posted on the portal when awarded, but I thought that since nothing about Regents was posted on her portal that she didn’t get it.

Yeah the admissions office really screwed up this time. They scheduled the calling campaign a week later than it should be this year, but Regents is notified next week.

@ucsdcompsci Thanks…good to know there’s still hope!

Do Regents only find out through phone call? Will there be an update on the web portal sometimes?

@bogeyorpar I expect that it will update on the web portal this week or next week.

Thanks @ucsdcompsci .

From your name, you are in the CS department, right? If so, can I ask you some questions specific to the CS program? (Maybe PM or open a new topic.)

@bogeyorpar Yes you can PM me! I’m flying back home tomorrow but I’ll get to your questions ASAP
