<p>Hi,</p>
<p>To those who have recently applied to Eastman: What was the average amount
of need-based aid received?</p>
<p>My application and FAFSA clearly indicates i needed aid, but I did not
receive any from them. After talking to them, I received $500. Is this a
mistake? Even the financially deprived Peabody gave me $4000. Should I
interrogate them until I get more, or is $500 a reasonable amount of
need-based aid for a $40,000 school?</p>
<p>Maybe they thought I was an international student? I indicated I was a non-native speaker since I came to the US when I was 8.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,
Jiyang Chen</p>
