<p>Thanks for the information iloveparis! well, my decision to attend UCR wasn’t based solely on Chancellor’s scholarship. I actually liked the school and they even offered me a scholarship. And I wasn’t expecting to receive federal funds or any other state funds anyways because I knew I wasn’t eligible for FAFSA. So, I was expecting to receive at least the chancellor’s scholarship. After checking growl, and clicked on ‘award status’, my scholarship didn’t show up. Instead, this is what it says,</p>
<p>“No financial aid award information currently exists for you for the active award year. The UCR Financial Aid Office does not have a financial aid application on file for you. If you have not yet completed a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), pick up an application from your local high school or college financial aid office. You may also apply on-line at [FAFSA</a> - Free Application for Federal Student Aid](<a href=“http://www.fafsa.ed.gov%5DFAFSA”>http://www.fafsa.ed.gov). If you have already filed, did you list UCR on your FAFSA? UCR’s school code is 001316. You may call the federal processor at (800) 433-3243 to check on the status of your application. Allow the federal processor 4 weeks to process your FAFSA.” </p>
<p>I thought this wasn’t supposed to be a federal fund. I thought it was a scholarship from UCR. Even the scholarship criteria didn’t mention that I need to be a U.S. citizen. Instead, it mentioned “Freshman Applicants: Other factors may be considered.” while other school specified that students need to be U.S. citizens in order to be eligible for Regent’s Scholarships. But I noticed that it says “other factors may be considered.”. So, does anyone knows what it means or does anyone have any specific scholarship criteria for Chancellor’s Scholarship?</p>
