How will I receive my stipend?
Your stipend will be divided in half and paid over two semesters. The first payment of $15,000 will be dispersed as a refund of your summer semester bill. This means that once tuition and fees are paid, you will receive the remaining balance in the form of a check or direct deposit from the university. The second payment of $15,000 will be dispersed as a refund of your fall semester bill, following the same process outlined for summer semester.
How does my stipend affect my financial aid?
The Federal estimated cost of attendance for one academic year at UC is just over $32,000. Therefore, in order to receive federally subsidized financial aid in any academic year, you cannot have other scholarships or stipends that exceed this amount. Since the dispersal of your stipend occurs over two semesters (summer and fall) it falls into two different academic years. The academic years run from fall to summer, beginning again in fall. Because financial aid is determined based on academic year, the impact of the stipend on your aid eligibility is different in the summer and fall.
- For summer semester: It is unlikely that you will be eligible for any federal financial aid because your financial award is only being based on one semester of study as opposed to a full academic year. The $15,000 stipend exceeds the estimated cost of attending UC for one semester.
- For the 2013-2014 academic year: The $15,000 stipend payment in the fall is taken into consideration when determining your aid eligibility for the academic year. Depending on your individual situation, you will likely still be eligible for financial aid, since the stipend award and 50% UGS scholarship is still under the $32,000 limit for one academic year.
