I was accepted to UCLA last week out of state, and while I wasn’t expecting to receive any aid because of the UC financial issues, I was offered a 16k grant for “out of state students who demonstrate significantly high financial need.” I completely understand that priority is given to California taxpayers, but I’m appealing because I have some information that wasn’t really provided on the FAFSA. Does anyone have a positive experience with appealing for more aid from UCLA? Thanks.
