Award Letter vs FAFSA

I received an award letter for my ED school before I filled out FAFSA. Now that I’ve completed it, will I receive a new award letter including need-based aid?

Probably. Otherwise, it will just appear on your student portal on the financial aid page.

What was your ED award BASED on? Did you fill out an estimated CSS Profile? If so, then your awards likely already includes your estimated need based aid. It might get tweaked a little.

@mom2collegekids According to the schools website the scholarship was solely merit based. I filled out my CSS profile on Nov 20, however the priority filing was Nov 1 for ED, so they might not have gotten it in time.

So did you accept the ED offer of admission?

? so you didn’t get a FA pkg after you got your ED acceptance? Did you accept?

I received my acceptance on Dec 13, and then received the financial aid package on the 15th. I haven’t accepted/put a deposit down yet.
My concern is that they didn’t include needs-based or didn’t have my financial information yet

Did you call them and ask? When is your date by which you MUST accept or not their ED offer of admission. Seems like it is…soon.

You need to call the school.
