I didn’t qualify for any federal grants but it says on my financial aid page that I was awarded a UCSD grant for about 13.5k. Just wondering what exactly that is. Is it similar to a federal gtant or merit aid or??
Maybe the Blue and Gold Grant? Whatever it is, congratulations!

Some schools have grants that are independent of the state or federal grants. UCSD has lots of donors and sometimes the university can put together a grant that comes from the university, its professors, Roger Revelle’s family, Ted Geisel’s family (Dr. Seuss), etc. Be happy! It’s a grant that you don’t have to repay!
