WHEN AND HOW DO
I FIND OUT HOW MUCH FINANCIAL AID I WILL RECEIVE?
AWARD NOTIFICATION:
The Financial Aid
Office begins notifying students who meet the May 2 priority application
date of the amounts and types of their awards during late spring or
early summer. Applications received after the priority date are processed
on a first-come, first-served basis. Award notification takes between
two to four weeks from the time the student’s application file
is complete in the Financial Aid Office.
SAMPLE AWARD
PACKAGES
Please note that
eligibility for Cal Grant B or C, other scholarships, and/or student
loans would be in addition to these sample award packages. Because most
financial aid awards are need-based, your total award package cannot
exceed your total financial need. Sometimes award funds are reduced
or adjusted so that you receive no more than your total financial need.
It is the policy of the Financial Aid Office to first reduce loan awards,
then Work Study awards, and finally, FSEOG awards to prevent a student
being over-awarded.
Awards as shown below reflect offers made based on a full year, full-time
enrollment. Because the funds for FWS and FSEOG are limited, early applicants
with high need will have the first option for funding from those funds.

ORIENTATION MEETINGS:
Award notifications
come to you with a packet of information explaining the terms and conditions
of your award. The first time you receive a Financial Aid award, you
will be required to attend a group orientation meeting. This orientation
provides you with the opportunity to review your award with a member
of the Financial Aid staff and have any questions you may have answered.
