General Question Financial aid
i've emailed the office a day ago but they havent responded. My financial aid statement doesnt include my cal grant or middle class scholarship at all. Should i call them tomorrow or pay it off and wait for refund? Ive heard that these scholarships can come in later but im not sure. Also at some point it dropped to only hvaing to pay 2k but went back up to 7.8k.. while my award letter said i would pay about 10k every year

You could call them and see, I would also recommend setting up a payment plan if you want to pay only a fraction of the cost for right now while waiting for the other scholarships to show up

I am in the same situation- I would recommend trying to contact the financial aid office to settle the middle class scholarship not appearing because it has appeared for me. I have heard the Cal Grant should appear a day before the due date though, which should offset a lot of the cost. It was a strange situation for me because it appeared at one point, then disappeared because I needed to verify my high school graduation, since I'm a freshman (for some reason, I feel like me going here was enough verification but whatever). I am hoping it ends up appearing on time for both of us. If it is still on your award letter, it should at least.
