Anyone got some financial aid/scholarship(s)?

<p>Did any one get some financial aid and/or scholarship(s)?</p>

<p>I am checking now - I check pretty often - and the system is very slow. Don't know if this is a sign that the awards have been loaded or not.</p>

<p>just checked about an hour ago. My page took like 30 min. to load. And then it said I was still missing the verification form and W2s and stuff, yet we sent it in over a week ago.</p>

<p>you should have faxed it over to them.
they received my fax today-all 8 pages of verification.</p>

<p>oh, my mom just said that my dad did fax it. maybe they just haven't updated my website? idk</p>

<p>over the phone they explained to me that they are doing it really fast. I may get a decision tommorow.
However, they said that they already sent out all the merit scholarships first.
And here is my problem: I am worried that for all the people who had to verify some information, they will get their FA package late and would lose the chance of getting a merit scholarship!</p>

<p>ITT BUSINESS SCHOLARSHIP S01 3,325 3,325 6,650
FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN L01 1,500 1,500 3,000
RECMD.SUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN LEN 158 158 317
Total 4,983 4,983 9,967</p>

<p>I have no idea how good any of those loans or whatever are. How is that package? </p>

<p>And what is the ITT Business Scholarship??</p>

<p>the stafford loan is the best loan you can get-period.
why? the government will subsidize your interest. so u just pay what you borrow.
nice</p>

<p>What about the Perkins Loan. I mean, the stafford was is only 317, so theres no point using that right?</p>

<p>perkins offers approx 5% interest to those who need it.
as for the stafford, its only 317 because your instate and instate tuition is A LOT cheaper than what I will end up paying(oos tuition)
i'd say its a good package.</p>

<p>Award still pending. Does that mean there is one? We faxed the tax returns yesterday. Onyen says that nothing is missing, though.</p>

<p>I just got some crappy loan. No laptop grant or anything. I'm pretty annoyed.</p>

<p>hahathatsfunny13 - I have a feeling I will be joining you with just a loan.</p>

<p>For those that received their award - what time was it posted?</p>

<p>Ugh, hahathatsfunny13, I'm in the same boat. I wasn't expecting anything, they're only offering me a crummy unsubsidized loan. </p>

<p>Oh well, at least I'm receiving in-state tuition!</p>

<p>My friend received a 3k scholarship. Lucky him. </p>

<p>I have to print and submit my verification form tomorrow. Joy.</p>

<p>alright so i haven't recieved anything asking for verification of W2. and on my unc page, i dont even have a link to click on with an academic period. and no reference to financial aid on applicant central. however, i did receive a laptop grant. does this mean everything is ok? </p>

<p>i still can't check if my financial aid is pending, recieved, or not anywhere on the unc page</p>

<p>i got my laptop grant as well, but i'm afraid that I won't get money for my tuition!!!</p>

<p>I called the school today and was told that my app was currently being verified. They said it may take up to two weeks - which is really last minute if you are comparing awards. They also said it may be sooner and that the system is updated each evening. I am wondering if we were slotted to be verified because we submitted a revised FAFSA and Profile.</p>

<p>i think so too, njmom!
I really hope this doesn't jeopardize our FA package.</p>
