<p>Xiggi,</p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
<p>By the way, does Gates cover 5 yrs of undergrad education?</p>
<p>Yes it does. :)</p>
<p>What exactly is this scholarship for? What are the requirements? Is there a website that I could check out?</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.gmsp.org%5B/url%5D”>www.gmsp.org</a> and you have to be a minority :)</p>
<p>hey guys, I am happy for all of yall who won the scholarship. It seems that all of you all are having fun finding out info.</p>
<p>ok i talked to the person at UCLA and she said thats how it is supposed to be filled out and that i can decline the loans and work study later.</p>
<p>the exact info on the sheet is this:</p>
<p>CoA: 23291
- EFC: 1615
= Demonstrated Need: 21676</p>
<p>Total Grants/Scholarships: 12676
- Self Help:9000
= Total Financial Aid: 21676</p>
<p>Demonstrated Need: 21676
- Total Financial Aid: 21676
= Unmet Aid: 0</p>
<p>Self help Includes 6500 loans and 2500 work study, but it says that on my provisional award letter and not the GMS Sheet. So i am wondering that if the info sheet shows my unmet aid zero, then how would GMS know how much money to give me???
Do they cover the self help column???</p>
<p>I will send them a copy of my provisional award, because i don’t wanna take any chances, should I accompany that with a letter or will they see for themselves and give me that 9000.</p>
<p>I will call them tomorrow too, but bad things happen to me so i don’t take many risks with big stuff like this. Thats why i am checking with this all over the place.</p>
<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>I got the scholarship, and I sent the Financial Aid sheet yesterday. Do any of you guys know how long it will take for me to get the sheet back? How long did it take you guys?</p>
<p>nvm my question, i called GMS and they explained it.</p>
<p>“nvm my question, i called GMS and they explained it.”</p>
<p>And was it any different from you were told here?</p>
<p>do you guys know if UCLA or CAL includes a laptop into the COA?</p>
<p>is anyone going to nyu?</p>
<p>xiggi is like the effing wizard of oz.</p>

<p>How long does it take for the Gates Info sheet to come back from the school’s financial aid office?</p>
