Any one have an idea about when financial aid awards will be released for students accepted EA? Obviously need this to make my decision so not sure what the date is that people have been notified in past years. Or will I have to wait until RD decisions are released?
Originally heard the third week of march from someone at EA Candidate’s Day but then was told by admissions that there is no guarantee it will be released until April 1st (that date being the latest).
Last year, my d financial aid letter was dated March 27th. She was EA. She chose not to attend.
Thank you @gopher119. It feels like forever waiting for FA decisions when accepted EA. My D was invited to honors but not invited to apply for merit scholarships and I know Villanova is known for not having a lot to give for financial need, so I doubt it will be an option for her but would like to get that information to make that final decision. Hope your D is happy where she is!
My d didn’t get any financial aid. They said you can pay $68.4k to come Nova. Thanks but no thanks. She is currently another top 10 undergrad business school as a Direct Admit for 1/2 the price.
@gopher119 Glad things worked out well for your D. My D will be an engineering major- she has a couple of good options now- hoping as the final results come in she has more!
My D received this on her application status. She is ED. “Financial aid packages for students who completed an application for need-based aid will be posted to the Applicant Status Page by March 29, 2018. You will receive notice via email when they are posted” Do you think that means there is HOPE of her receiving financial aid?
Check your portal, they posted yesterday
