Financial Aid Reflection
1. What financial assistance does the FAFSA offer? Based on your application, do you
qualify for assistance through the FAFSA? If so, how much do you expect to receive and
how will you use this money?
The FAFSA offers approximately $5,730.00 in financial assistance for qualified
applicants. Based on my application, I do not qualify because of my parents combined
income.
2. Are you eligible to receive the Cal Grant? If so, how much do you expect to receive and
how will you use this money?
No, I am not eligible due to surpassing the income ceiling.
3. Are you eligible to receive a Board of Governors Fee Waiver? If so, do you plan on
applying for the BOG Fee Waiver?
No, I am not eligible to receive this waiver because I am a dependent of my parents.
4. Describe your findings from the private scholarship search. Do you plan on applying to
any of the scholarships available? If so, to which are you planning to apply and how much
do you expect to receive if you are accepted?
I looked into a couple of available scholarships. I am interested in the 5th Annual
International High School Essay Contest through the International Bipolar Foundation. If
my essay is chosen, I would be eligible for a $500 scholarship.
