<p>Yes - it will stay the same as long as the FAFSA stays the same.</p>
<p>dudeee. i got 41K in grants and 2K in workstudy.</p>
<p>HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PAY!!!
gahhh well its off to a state school for me!</p>
<p>That’s pretty amazing aid so I’m going to assume you are joking.</p>
<p>Yeah that would put you paying next to nothing for a $210,000 education.</p>
<p>You’re surely qualifying for $5500 in Stafford Loans in addition to the $41K in grants and $2K workstudy. With that kind of wonderful package for a quality school like Emory, I’d suggest working 2 shifts all summer long to help make up the difference. Don’t let a great opportunity like this get away from you if you can help it!</p>
<p>I have 37k grants + 2k workstudy</p>
<p>13k/yr would be in loans mostly…take out work and that would be around 40K in loans at the end of 4 years vs a full ride at tulane…</p>
<p>parents cant help pay for any college so ill probably be at tulane</p>

<p>“The Loan Cap Program (LCP) caps cumulative need-based debt at $15,000 for dependent undergraduate students whose families’ annual total incomes are between $50,000 and $100,000. With the Loan Cap Program, students receive a standard financial aid award for freshman and sophomore years. This award could include federal or state aid, institutional loans or grants, or Work-Study. After a student has accrued a total of $15,000 in need-based loans while enrolled at Emory, grants will be provided to cover any remaining need-based funding incurred through degree completion. The first LCP awards will be made to eligible continuing students during the 2009-2010 academic year. Students enrolled at Emory prior to the 2007-2008 academic year are not eligible for the Loan Cap Program.”</p>
<p>So if your parents make between 50k-100k you should graduate with only 15k in assigned debt! That my friend is worth it!</p>
<p>^^ The Loan Cap Program doesn’t work the way it sounds. They don’t mention that this program is based also on your house, retirement savings, cars, assets, … Thus you not only have to have low income, but you can’t own anything either. As usual in life, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.</p>
<p>^^ Motherofmine, I don’t believe your comment about “can’t own anything either” is true…</p>
<p>I agree that the Emory Advantage / Loan Cap Programs aren’t necessarily intuitive to understand; however, there are guidelines that have been established and are consistently communicated. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that everybody will always interpret what is said the way it’s intended to be understood.</p>
<p>The best thing to do is always go to the source of true authority, in this case the Office of Financial Aid.</p>
<p>My FA adviser said my EFC was $3132 and I only got 26k in aid plus 7k in loans/work study.</p>
<p>I sent in an appeal letter and I will find out about it on Thursday. Without more aid, I won’t be going to Emory :(</p>
<p>“The best thing to do is always go to the source of true authority, in this case the Office of Financial Aid.”</p>
<p>Been there done that.<br>
I know you mean well, but what you think doesn’t change what we have been told by the financial aid office.</p>
<p>How is Oxford 47k?? On the website it says around 44k
[Oxford</a> College - Affordability](<a href=“http://oxford.emory.edu/affordability/]Oxford”>Admission and Aid | Emory University | Atlanta GA)</p>
<p>Does this amount not include some other costs?? What additional costs would I need to add to that??</p>
<p>Madirocks, the 44k $ you linked to is correct. </p>
<p>Only if you don’t have insurance that qualifies for the insurance waiver, then you will have to add 2k to the amount making the total 46K.</p>
<p>41K grants and 2K WS may sound great, but my family can’t afford it AT ALL. like our EFC is 1164 but it should be 0 bc my stepdad became unemployed this year. i got 5500 in loans & i need 3500 more. </p>
<p>should i go there?? i’m having to pay 2K for my state school (which is covered by a stafford loan). UT is a great school, but emory is amazing. and i can’t afford it. AND i plan on going to graduate school. thats more loans to come. so does undergrad really matter??</p>
<p>i really want to go, but… dlsjfsldkfj GR!</p>
<p>mavsgirl… Did you try appealing your FA package? That’s what I did and my package increased by 9k in grants.</p>
<p>Call the office of FA and ask to speak to your FA adviser if you are interested in the process. He/she will explain it to you.</p>
<p>On the Emory COA page, it includes:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What exactly is that for?</p>
