All my options end up being the same actually. Thanks so much!
My scholarship covered 60% of my tuition from quarters 2 through 4 of the accel pathway program. This left me holding the bag for quarters #1 & #5. For quarter #5, it was because we only did 90 clinical hours of role transition, which made up 3 or 5 credit hours (not enough for full time status). Quarter 1 was not covered since it was during the summer. Why not, I don't know - it's just how it is.
NOTE that UC has changed their accel program since I attended it. Rather than a single cohort starting in July/Aug, they have 2 cohorts a year. One starts in ?June?, and the second one starts in ?January? (don't quote me on the months). I'm not sure how this impacts the grad scholarship coverage. Your best bet would be to contact UC, and GET IT IN WRITING. Don't go into it just on verbal promises of what gets covered.
