<p>This is the unofficial award letter I get from UCSB, do you guys think it is a good offter?</p>
<p>Federal Pell Grant $4731
University of California Grant $5495
Federal Work-Study $1900
Recommended Subsidized Direct Loan $5500 </p>
<p>And there is a $7000 estimate of cal grant. Since I did graduate in Cali, it is more possible i get nothing there, however, here is an explanation:</p>
<p>"A Cal Grant A was used for this unofficial award letter, but if you are awarded a Cal Grant B by CSAC, we will adjust for that change later this summer. In most cases, this change will result in a corresponding increase to your UC Grant eligibility. We will not display actual Cal Grant awards until the State passes the 2008-2009 budget in mid-summer and we are authorized to pay the awards. "</p>
<p>Does that mean I can have UC grant replace cal grant completely if I am not qualified for cal grant? Moneys always a big issue.</p>
