Hey guys,
Im an international student accepted both at Emory and Oxford with an Emory liberal arts scholarship of 20k but Im also seeking need based aid (the 20k scholarship isnt nearly enough for me to attend Emory)
The problm is that Im still waiting for a need based financial aid award, the only thing that shows up in my portal is the 20k scholarship. Do you have any idea if im getting need based aid? Have you guys had news about need based financial aid?
Thanks
Hi, I am facing the same problem as you. They said you have to contact the office of admissions, NOT the office of financial aid, abt ur money situation. They do not send need based aid awards to internationals over opus. So I’m thinking the need based aid award will come over email or snail mail, but I doubt u got none. A huge university like Emory won’t waste a seat knowing that one of their admitted students can’t pay.
@matt1881 Thanks for the info! I was thinking the exact same thing! Ill contact the admission office because on the fin aid office another person is telling me I never applied for financial aid, yet In my common app I checked the option that said YES to apply for financial aid. I also have proof that all the financial aid documents I sent arrived at emory (via regular mail). Now Im waiting for a response…
K please let me know what they say… but Im sure they’ve considered my financial need when admitting me…http://apply.emory.edu/apply/international.php
If u read that link it says under Financial Assistance for International Students that international students receive limited aid…and i also learnt that they made that decision about financial aid when they admitted u… but I had no notification whatsoever about my need based aid…even if they give none (i doubt), they’ll at least let me know… btw have u received u admission packet yet??? I feel the info and aid award could be inside that…
No admission packege yet @matt1881 ill tell you as soon as I havve any news
K thnx man…btw u wrote u got a scholarship? So did u apply for the emory scholars thing? I applied late so I never applied emory scholars…
Yeah I applied for the Emory Scholars program but didn’t get in. I don’t know where that scholarship came from? Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled, but I need more aid to be able to attend. @matt1881
