Any one hear from ucla funding?

My roommate got a fellowship from ucla today, but I have not got any information about my funding. What about other applicants admitted in the first-round?

Yeah I just got an email from Sara Lee about the fellowship offer.. They said earlier that we will hear from them by 15th March about funding.

Today is already 15th March...

I am sure that they have sent out fellowships including tuition waiver and a stipend of 20000, because my roommate have received this funding package. To the poster above, have you received the tuition waiver?

Reading the letter carefully again. It really did say that stipend info will be released after the flyout (2nd April) but before 15th April. It says in the letter that I am highly ranked for a departmental stipend award which they will allocate after the open house weekend. This is really weird of UCLA... Does anyone know if this is a normal procedure for UCLA?

i got an email today, they told me the package

**sekhmet** · 03-16-2010, 01:40 AM

ah ok, so only a few people get funding today

Oh BTW, the title of the pdf document labels me as a non-resident so I am guessing there are two sets of such letter. Not sure if they are released at the same time. Did any non-CA resident receive both stipend info and non-resident tuition waiver info today?

The letter also says that I am expected to declare CA residency after my first year. Is that even possible for non-domestic students?!

I got the exact same email. I took it to mean that they are waiting for other people to decline before offering out more stipend money. Not sure what the point of a tuition waver is without a stipend. Lame. Wish the UC system had more money!
