<p>Can you guys please give me some information.
When will ED applicants get to know about their financial aid award? Will they be informed along with the acceptance letter on December 15?
I’m asking this because I’ll be filling the FAFSA only after January 1. So how is the University supposed to inform the student about his/her financial reward earlier than Jan 1 without knowing the amount of Federal Aid the student will be receiving?
Thanx for any reply.</p>
<p>Students who file Ed generally are not dependent on financial aid to attend- afterall they are voluntarily giving up their opportunity to compare offers.</p>
<p>My understanding is that most ED schools will give you an estimate of your financial aid award, based on the CSS Profile that you sent in. If you didn't send in any FA info yet, then it's safe to assume there will be no estimate.</p>
