I am a sophomore at UCI and my EFC has always been zero. My parents made about $18,000 during my first year at UCI and now it is down to $13,000. My loan amount for 2010-2011 was about $4000 and for 2011-2012 was about $4314. For some reason I was asked to pay $600 during my first year at UCI… I am guessing because of the meal plan . I did not receive the full amount of Calgrant during my first year. I only received $10,000. I was never given a reason for this lower amount even though I qualified for the full amount. Can anyone tell me why I would receive a lower amount of Calgrant ?
