Carolina Covenant

<p>Has anyone heard back from FinAid yet and received Carolina Covenant Scholars( the no loan for students demonstrating financial need program)??</p>

<p>You should hear back by mid-April. So towards the end of this coming week or beginning of next week.</p>

<p>Do you know if it’s taking them longer to get aid pacakages together for people with low efc’s? Everyone I know has gotten their packages already, but I got selected for verification and I’m still waiting :frowning: NC State is releasing theirs in mid-April after the amounts for the Pell grant are set so maybe UNC is doing this as well, and people who qualify for it have to wait longer?</p>

<p>@ashleylee, Same here! Everyone I know is already all set in terms of financial aid, but I still can’t access mine (we have a low efc as well.)</p>

<p>Hopefully its worth the wait.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how the Covenant program works of OOS students? I know there is a work study, but do out of state students also have a summer contribution(like some private schools do instead of loans)?</p>

<p>We just sent an email to FA. They responded saying that FA should be out by the 15th. hope that helps - we did get notified about a laptop grant so far.</p>

<p>Ugh I still don’t have my financial aid either and April 15th is sooo far away…I wanna know now UNC! Especially being oos, my entire decision depends on fa and I just want to know for sure which school I’m going to :(</p>

<p>Nothing this week :(. Hopefully by the end of next week since next Fri is the 15th. sigh.</p>

<p>checked my aid this morning and the package was up</p>

<p>I’m so excited :slight_smile: I just checked mine!!</p>

<p>what??? i still have nothing and i haven’t heard about a cci grant either. this is driving me insane</p>

<p>did you submit the css? b/c i believe you had to have submitted the css for a cci grant</p>

<p>yes, submitted the css. the info was a bit off because it was before we filed 2010 taxes and i couldn’t find a way to edit the css once i completed it. but i would imagine the info we supplied would qualify me for at least a partial grant</p>

<p>We still have not heard anything on FA !!</p>

<p>am I the only one that hasn’t heard anything from FA yet? :(</p>

<p>got our FA notice this morning. Couldn’t be happier!</p>

<p>Just checked and still “in progress” I think tomorrow is the day. good luck!</p>

<p>100% of my expenses are covered… does that mean I have Carolina Covenant? I mean even if I don’t this is a blessing :)</p>

<p>fatpony - wait what? Where do you see “in progress” ?? I thought financial aid could be viewed in the student center and it has those three lists “admissions”, “personal info” and “to do list.” Am i looking in the wrong place?</p>
