<p>Hi. I just saw that I got admitted to UC Santa Barbara and on the left side of my application status page, there is this ">Unoffical Award Letter" that's really bugging me. I clicked on it and it just lead me to the Financial Aid office. I know that there is no way I am eligible because I am an international student, with no social security number and couldn't submit FAFSA. So I scrolled all the way down and clicked on Scholarships, and nothing. It says scholarships were already given out on the week of 14th of February. </p>
<p>I am a bit disapointed...because when I saw the unofficial award letter, I thought I was gonna get some kinda grant. But I clicked on every single thing and just can't find the secret of this unofficial award letter. Geeeez it's REALLY bugging me! It's 1am for me right now... -.-</p>
<p>ANYONE else who got that?? Tell me the secret! ;D</p>
<p>I have that link on my page too and I’m an international. I think the link is there for everyone and those who filled up FAFSA can check their status while those who don’t qualify won’t have any info there.</p>
<p>I have that link, when I click it it leads me to my FAFSA, however, there’s no info on how much money I’m getting on there…</p>
<p>“Each applicant who filled out the federal FAFSA application for student aid and indicated UCSB as a college of choice may view an unofficial financial aid award letter from UCSB. The letter will be available in early April and will provide a preliminary estimate of your eligibility. To access your Unofficial Award Letter, log in to Admitted Students from the Office of Admissions website (<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.admissions.ucsb.edu</a>) and click on the “Unofficial Award Letter” link on the left side-bar.”</p>
<p>That’s in the “Steps to Enrollment” tab; click “More Information” next to the “Review your options for Financial Aid” bullet point. I guess we’ll have to wait a couple of weeks to know for sure.</p>
<p>@heybeautiful
yeeah i think so too… 
so nothing for people who didn’t file FAFSA…</p>
<p>@Atticlights
are you also a international? Coz internationals are not eligible for finanicial aid which is probably why there is nothing there.</p>
<p>@alexcoconuts
thank you!! 
that explains things!</p>
<p>No I’m a Californian, I was worried that I didn’t see any preliminary FinAid awards but I guess they’re coming in early April so I’ll wait till then!</p>
