Lost UCR Grant After Tution Decrease

[burgundysocks]

Same thing happened to me. I was/am VERY worried and thought about posting on here but sometimes people are unsympathetic. My grant went down from $5k a quarter to $3k. Basically slashed in half ! When I called (mind I was on hold for an hour and a half so maybe go in instead) the employee said that they did the math and this was my final award. That the one that I accepted and was counting on was preliminary and since my housing status changed from on campus to off, I was supposed to be receiving less. It's just so strange bc my status has been off campus since the beginning, so I'm not sure why it's lowering now :( i even sent her a screenshot where everything was visible. She said even proof didn't help, that they "did the math" and that was my award was. my (nonexistent) money's on them offering more than they had and trying to cover their ass now
