What is your FA package? Hate to pry, but...

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>@Matt4200 I’m unsure on campus based fees, but I’m thibking that health care fees apply to visiting the school nurse or any medical insurance things. </p>

22

<p>@Matt4200 last year they combined for 130k with my mom 70 and my dad 60, but I’m very suspicious of that. I thought I would be eligible for work-study but apparently I’m not. </p>

<p>As much as it sounds dirty, my parents divorcing would help me out a lot. I’m already planning on getting a job no matter which UC I attend. </p>

23

<p>@mr401k - How about Cal Grant?</p>

24

<p>Nah on the unofficial award letter it doesn’t give me any Cal Grant money. I checked my Cal Grant application and it doesn’t show anything under award details.</p>

25

<p>On the Cal Grant site it says for new applicants you’ll kno in May so keep hoping!</p>

26

<p>Hmm…I swore I selected “on campus”</p>

<p>Could it be because I’m a transfer student that they put “off campus” for me?</p>

27

<p>I’ve been admitted but i haven’t received an Unofficial FA package on my UCSB account. should i be concerned? or do these things come out in waves as well?</p>

28

<p>So UCSB gave me a pretty generous unofficial financial aid package of about 23K(this includes work-study money) which is pretty nice.</p>

<p>It helps to be poor as **** sometimes. Still, UCLA is my #1 school and I’d like to see how their financial aid package will compare if I get accepted. Berkeley, too.</p>

<p>@randombookie</p>

<p>Same, I just saw it and now I’m freaking out so I am going to check my FAFSA to make sure I actually put on campus…</p>

30

<p>@Anthroflo - I put on campus as well but in the unofficial package it shows the breakdown and funding for off campus.</p>

<p>Maybe because it’s unofficial and they rushed doing things?</p>

<p>Hopefully the official version will be more accurate</p>

31

<p>@AnthroFlo, yeah it’s bc we’re transfer students, so they just put “off campus” as default
@Matt4200, thanks for the info!</p>

32

<p>Thanks for the info @randombookie.
Not really sure what to make of it though, just because I thought that UCSB stated on their website that transfers are guaranteed housing for the first year if paperwork was turned in by a certain deadline… I’m probably just reading too much into it.</p>

33

<p>@Anthroflo - It’s most likely just because it’s unofficial</p>

34

<p>UCR gave me
$16000 UCR grant
$1000 transfer scholarship
$5500 sub loan
$1500 unsub loan
A lot more aid than i thought id get especially with my EFC! </p>

35

<p>@sonic23 - No Cal Grant? And what’s the $1000 Transfer Scholarship??</p>

36

<p>Here is mine for UCSD and UCSB</p>

<p>UCSD:</p>

<p>Cal grant: 12,192
Pell grant: 5,680
UCSD grant: 4,337
Work Study: 2,400
Federal direct subsidized loan: 5,500
Federal direct unsubsidized loan: 1,217</p>

<p>UCSB:</p>

<p>Cal grant:12,192
Pell grant: 5,680
UCSB grant: 2968
Work Study: 2300
Federal direct subsidized loan: 5,500
Federal direct unsubsidized loan: 1,417</p>

37

<p>@nickkwooddd - What are you stats and EFC if you don’t mind me asking?</p>

38

<p>@Matt4200 nope no cal grant i figured i wouldnt get i though because my income exceeded the ceiling limit. I guess blue and gold program is the reason why i got the 16000 ucr grant .The scholarship is a ucr chancellor’s scholarship. </p>

39

<p>@sonic23 - I don’t think there’s an income limit on the Cal Grant…and they are even awarded til May.</p>

40

<p>@Matt4200 i googled it, there was a chart and according to my family size of two the income limit was around 36000ish and im independent </p>
