<p>Linoch, the UC scholarship information does indicate that you must be a US citizen or permanent resident (green card holder). Your type of visa does not grant you permanent status. What baffles me is that most likely you applied to UCR indicating you were not a US citizen but yet UCR awarded you the scholarship. </p>
<p>If your decision to attend UCR was based solely on this scholarship, it would be most unfortunate to find out it’s being revoked this late in the game.</p>
<p>Here is the link for UCR scholarships from the UC system website: <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/scholarships/schol_campus/schol_ucr.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/scholarships/schol_campus/schol_ucr.html</a></p>
<p>Financial aid from federal funds are definitely only for US citizens and permanent residents (green card holders). A FAFSA form must be completed and a social security number must be submitted. Scholarships, however, may come from other sources and their criteria may or may not require the completion of a FAFSA form, depending on the institution, the campus and/or the sponsor of that fund. </p>
<p>So sorry linoch!!! :(</p>
