<p>Has anyone been notified of their aid award?</p>
<p>I had to send in the w2 forms because I forgot on the first time. It's supposed to arrive any day but it's cutting close to the deposit deadline.</p>
<p>I got mine a few days before christmas and it was a great present!</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat, evanescent. They told me I could postpone the deposit if my award is late.</p>
<p>mine sucked im goin to be in major debt if i don't get a great job</p>
<p>Abike, you can call them up or e-mail them and they may help accomodate you.</p>
<p>why don't you try to win some scholarships in the meanwhile.</p>
<p>im trying but i would need a scholarship to cover the financial aid they did give me and my family contribution- either i have to win a ton of small scholarships or a few huge sums but in the end i'll need to get loans</p>
<p>no, your scholarships subtract from your loans before anything else. It's on the financial aid website.</p>
<p>yah then if it exceeds the loan portion they take it away from your FAP</p>
<p>even if i call them what would i say?</p>
<p>Say that you are unable to pay what is asked of you, explain why...I suggest having a parent call if that's possible.</p>
<p>yeah but if you have a scholarship instead of FAP paying for it...what's the difference in where the money's coming from. Don't you still avoid loans, which are the big pain?</p>
<p>I have received my FA award...actually it was less than a week after the official decision came in the mail.</p>
<p>there's no difference but obtaing winning a big enough scholarship is difficult</p>
