Your Bruin Financial Aid Letter is the official notice of financial aid eligibility for the academic year. Any time Financial Aid and Scholarships updates your award, a new Bruin Financial Aid Letter will be created and you will be notified via an email to access it through the Bruin Financial Aid Portal.
Your Bruin Financial Aid Letter will indicate the housing status that Financial Aid and Scholarships has on file. If your housing status is incorrect, you may inform our office by using the Bruin Financial Aid Portal and selecting “Documents - Upload a Non Requested Document” and select “Appeal: Housing Adjustment.” Please have copies of your rental agreement and canceled checks available to be submitted to Financial Aid and Scholarships upon request. If housing verification is requested and you are unable to provide the necessary documentation, your budget will be adjusted and you will be billed for grants and/or loans received in excess of your eligibility.
NOTE: All Graduate and Professional students are automatically awarded with an off-campus budget, thus revisions are never necessary.
We will start releasing academic year Bruin Financial Aid Letters late March for newly admitted Freshmen and mid-July for continuing students. Students interested in attending Summer will receive their Summer Bruin Financial Aid Letter early May. For more information about summer awarding visit our Summer Aid webpage.
