So I have just been notified that I’m getting the Regents scholarship at UCSD, but looking at the financial aid summary they have for me is pretty confusing. To my understanding, FAFSA and Cal Grant cover all your financial aid, so you’re left with just your EFC. It looks like Regents does the exact same thing… I’m left with only my EFC to pay. Regents is the only thing listed as my Gift Aid. So what’s the difference between getting Regents and FAFSA/Cal Grantmoney? (in monetary terms only, not the priority enrollment and stuff)
