<p>Hello CCers. I am wondering how many of you have received either the ACG or SMART grant. I have contacted the financial aid office but all they’re telling me is that they don’t have the funds yet. I find that odd because all of my friends at other UCs and private univs. have gotten it already. Maybe they’re collecting interest on the funds (lol?). I got the grant last year around week 5/6, and got an updated ePAL around week 4 since they check for eligibility during week 3.</p>

<p>I also contacted the Federal Student Aid, which disburses the money in the first place and they said they sent the funds to all eligible schools. Hmm…</p>

<p>In any case, UCLA’s financial aid office service is ****ing horrible. They ignore your e-mails and never answer the phones (all I hear is I’m sorry all of our agents are busy blah blah)</p>

<p>My daughter (not a UC but at a State U in a different State) got hers (1st semester of 2nd year ACG - $650) in August with the rest of her financial aid.</p>

<p>wow in August? So maybe I’m right. maybe they are hogging all the interst from the funds. See this is why UCLA is ■■■■■■■■. Why can’t they give the grants along with other financial aid instead of giving me ******** right “oh these grants are retroactive to the beginning of the quarter”</p>

<p>beginning of the quarter my ass . quarter’s over in 3 weeks.</p>
