@AnotherPassword did you receive yours this week? Nothing here…not even in the portal.
have you logged into https://my.smu.edu ? Then go to Financial Aid section
@ccsouth I don’t have anything in the my.smu.edu financial aid section…did yours show up there?
@acegikm yes my dd has her merit scholarships and small loan listed in her my.smu.edu portal. Possibly could be there earlier since we don’t qualify for FA, not sure.
I went to the portal, it lists the Merit aid, work-study, as well as subsidized and un-subsidized loans the the TEG.
@ccsouth @AnotherPassword , did you apply for FA? I don’t see anything other than merit listed there.
Nothing at all for us on the FA portal. Not even the merit offer.
“There is no financial aid information found”
@bogeyorpar We filled out the CSS for FA consideration. So I had run the Net Price Calculator, so far, based on the portal, it all matches up except the ‘opportunity (scholarship)’ which would cover housing
Just to add, it seems to me that the FA information trickels in, I bet it is entered on a per student basis, not in ‘waves’ like UT or other large schools, so I expect others will get full FA awards before/after we do
@lalalander111 ours also says “there is no financial aid information found”
Well, we got out FA letter on Friday. it matches the one online my.smu.edu financial aid section. Financial aid section shows merit aid, Fed sub and un-sub, Texas Equalization Grant, work-study. NO opportunity award. This could be expensive.
Any other EA applicants still waiting on their FA packages? Seems like a long time…
I would contact the financial aid office, @acegikm . My daughter (applied EA) received her initial FA packet (through mail & portal) before we had filed FAFSA & CSS profile. We missed the priority date for those filings. But did file at the beginning of January & have received updated packets. Again, both through mail & portal. Maybe they are missing something that needs some action. Definitely contact them.
Thank you @momoftres I have been in contact with the FA office multiple times and am told 2-3 more weeks every time. I filed FAFSA & CSS profiles well before the deadline. They indicate they have all necessary materials. Frustrating.
