<p>same here…</p>
<p>so looks like they still havent updated the alumni scholarship on my financial aid award page in bearfacts
anyone else in similar situation?
i already paid fees so i guess they will credit me back?
hellp!!!</p>
<p>yeah same here</p>
<p>wait…you guys haven’t gotten a thing? i’ve been emailed a laptop agreement sheet, the entire calendar for all the events that we must go to this year, information about the retreat we’ll be going to, and a host of other emails from the TAAP people…</p>
<p>Whoa, the ASA has informed us of stuff, but the TAAP really seems to keep you updated…you get a laptop!!</p>
<p>okay hold up..
- what is the TAAP?
- what the h e l l are you talking about? what e-mail?
- theres a retreat?</p>
<p>you get a laptop? Is this for the leadership award or the achievement award?</p>
<p>1) The Achievement Award Program…which is a part of the Alumni Association’s scholarships
2) Throughout the entire summer, I assumed everyone was getting the same emails I was, like going to a picnic, then a BBQ thing, then there’s an ASA (alumni scholarship assoc) induction ceremony in a couple of weeks…
3) there’s a retreat for the TAAP people. marin headlands.</p>
<p>wait, some of you guys are TAAP scholars and you guys havent received a thing?</p>
<p>o i am “leadership award winner”
the achievement thing is for the minorities and/or financial aid folks right?
yea i never went to any bbq or pcnic
but yea the ceremony is in a couple of weeks..true that
but no retreat for us…at least i think so</p>
<p>Both TAAP and Leadership Scholarships are offered by the Cal Alum. Assoc. </p>
<p>They are both very different scholarships. The TAAP is for high achieving students with lack of financial resources who have overcome significant challenges. It is a 4 year scholarship (or 2 year for transfers).</p>
<p>[California</a> Alumni Association at UC Berkeley - Student Area](<a href=“http://www.alumni.berkeley.edu/Students/Scholarships_and_Awards/Achievement_Award/main.asp]California”>http://www.alumni.berkeley.edu/Students/Scholarships_and_Awards/Achievement_Award/main.asp)</p>
<p>The Leadership Scholarship is a merit based, one year scholarship that must be renewed each year. Freshmen already know if they received this. Continuing students who applied (or reapplied) will be finding out about now if they made it to the final round. If so, they will have their interviews on campus in September.</p>
<p>I take back what i said about the ASA money not being on bearfacts, i noticed the amount $750 for fall and spring just now, under financial aid–>award summary. It is listed as general and not tuition. Also if you note it hasn’t been sent to CARS…so maybe we can use this as we want? maybe sent to Cal 1 card??</p>
<p>thanks for the update khan
i just noticed mine has been updated too but not sent to CARS
maybe the will send it on monday
but the thing is, i have already paid my fees, so do i expect a rebate or what?
i doubt they will sent it to our cal 1 card and let us use it as we want…its a scholarship and it goes towards our tuition</p>
<p>any previous alumni know how this moolah comes into our hands??</p>
<p>Thanks for the update. I just checked the Award Summary and it’s there, showing 2 installments, one paid out now and one in Spring. And my D’s Fall instalment DOES show on the CARS Quick Statement</p>
<p>yea same here, it shows amt. sent to CARS
but i already paid the minimum fee
maybe they will credit me back?</p>
