<p>My D has been offered almost $22K in scholarships, but Fordham is so expensive that it will be difficult for that to make a difference. It is a great school, certainly.</p>
<p>@agreatperhaps13 & @ amackie31 Where did you look to find your amount? I went to the admitted students tab on my.fordham.edu and clicked on the highlighted ‘Financial Aid’ at the top of the Financial Aid box. It took me to a page that said Home, Documents, and Messages. Home was just the overview of the site, Documents just told me Fordham received my Fafsa, and I didn’t have anything under Messages.</p>

<p>@screed2014 Login in to your official decision letter. Scroll down to the bottom of the letter, and click the “Financial Aid Award Letter” link.</p>
<p>I don’t have one of those links. Just the link to fordham.edu/admitted page…Does that mean I didn’t get merit aid or need-based/ any type of aid all together?</p>
<p>@screed2014 fordham.edu/admitted is a totally different page.
- <a href=“Login”>https://admission.fordham.edu/apply/status</a> Click here and login to the portal
- Under status update, click the link “view update.” That’s where you’ll find your acceptance letter.
- Scroll to the bottom of your letter and click “Financial Aid Award Letter” </p>
<p>If you don’t have any of these links, I don’t know what happened. It should be there, though. Hope this helps! </p>
<p>I see my acceptance letter and the bottom of the page says this:</p>
<p>“Information about financial aid and resources for financing your Fordham education can be found at my.fordham.edu. Click on the Admitted Student Tab and select Financial Aid Online.

<p>I recommend calling the admissions or financial aid office to find out what’s wrong. Sorry it didn’t work out. Good luck. :)</p>
<p>=/ Alright I’ll give it a try. Thank you!</p>
<p>@sreed2014 it’s the same for me, I called FA earlier today and they said that my FA award should be up by the end of the week so I’m assuming it’s the same with you</p>
<p>@NigerianPrince the link will be on the the online acceptance letter like everyone else’s? Or somewhere else?</p>
<p>@sreed2014 I think so. I don’t see why not</p>
<p>Accepted! Foudn out outline a couple days ago and got the letter in the mail today.
28 ACT, 91 GPA unweighted, coming from a small, private Catholic school (which I heard is always an advantage for Fordham)
I’m very excited, although I’m not sure I’ll be able to afford it.
I got the Fordham Jogues Scholarship which seems to be based on merit and the Fordham Tuition Scholarship which I’m assuming is a form of financial aid? Not entirely sure.
Anyway, I’m very excited!
Congrats to all who were accepted!</p>
<p>Congratulations!!! My daughter is a current freshman and she received the Jogues also. Hope you can make it to the accepted students day on 4/13. </p>
<p>My son got accepted. They are giving him a good financial aid package too about $27K per year. Interested in biological sciences program. He has other offers so difficult decisions ahead.</p>
<p>My son was accepted with 33,000 in grants and scholarships, so we may be able to afford it. Pleasantly surprised with the financial aid package from Fordham.</p>
