<p>for all of those who are wondering, you can access to see whether you got regents under financial aid notification, keep clicking “continue” til you get to that page :)</p>

2

<p>how?? do i click continue on the first page?</p>

3

<p>yes continue
plus if you went to scholars day
you probably got regents</p>

4

<p>whats better, regents or chancellors</p>

5

<p>Regents was only $2000 for me /=</p>

6

<p>chancellors was 5,000/year for me. i didn’t get regents so shouldn’t regents be worth more than chancellors?</p>

<p>So, wait, does this mean I got the scholarship:</p>

<p>Seems too high and out of the blue for me to suddenly get a Regents scholarship from UCSD.</p>

<p>This may be a stupid question, but when I click on the “My Financial Aid Preliminary Award Notice” link, all I see is this:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Did you all submit FAFSAs or something? I didn’t, and that’s the only reason I can think of that could explain why I’m seeing this message and nothing else. Or does the phrase “we are unable to provide you with a Preliminary Award Notification” mean I didn’t get a scholarship?</p>

<p>To Azure326: It definitely looks like you got the nice scholarship (if you want to trust my opinion, since I can’t even figure out what’s going on). Congrats! :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the kind words.</p>

<p>Yes, I applied for a FAFSA. I think what they’re saying is that you didn’t get any scholarships only because you didn’t submit a FAFSA.</p>

10

<p>^ click the Continue button underneath that message.</p>

<p>Azure, it looks like you got it. Do you have a lot of financial need? That would explain why it’s such a big number.</p>

11

<p>csquare - I think that number represents the amount of money over the course of 4 years (otherwise that number essentially means a free ride).</p>

12

<p>Well, I was looking at some old threads and I am under the impression that scholarships such as Regents are completely separate from FAFSA. </p>

<p>To csquare: I only see a Return button underneath that message. I guess I’ll just have to find out the old-fashioned way, with actual snail-mail…I’m not really expecting any scholarships though. But I still really want to know!</p>

13

<p>well, I’m guessing my EFC was too high for them to give me anything more than $2000? /= which really sucks… didn’t know SD considered need when they figured Regents, etc. out. thought it was strictly merit-based.</p>

14

<p>theantithesisof - What was your EFC? What’s considered an EFC that’s too high (Mine was something like 1060)?</p>

15

<p>yeah, well actually I know my EFC was too high. something like 37k, I think.</p>

<p>congrats on the full ride btw (:</p>

16

<p>Azure - my page displays $2,000 next to the Regents Scholarship, which is definitely a per-year amount.</p>

<p>If your EFC was only $1060, then you really should be getting the full-ride.</p>

17

<p>I’m pretty sure Regents is merit-based…I don’t see how EFC would factor into their decisions. I wonder how they determine scholarship amounts if that’s the case.</p>

18

<p>kelkyann – click the link Azure posted; it has the info about Regents being only $8000 total for students who don’t have fin. need</p>

19

<p>Regents IS merit-based. However, that’s only in determining WHO gets the scholarship. If you have no financial need, you get the 2k per year. If you have financial aid as determined by the FAFSA/EFC, then they give you more.</p>

<p>csquare… aaah, it all makes sense now. (;</p>
