<p>DD received online her estimated finaid offer for SCU. As predicted, we didn't qualify for much aid. She did get an SCU grant which we assume is only renewable with demonstrated need. I would also guess that any merit aid would have been noted here...any ideas if that is true?? We didn't think she would qualify for any....but you never know.</p>
<p>Hi Thumper. I just received my SCU financial aid estimate and I'm really confused. It said there was 20k in grants, but then like 23k in loans. Does this mean that I qualified for need based financial aid?</p>
<p>I got that last year as a freshman. basically they feel they meet your total need becuase they count loans as part of the finaid. So yeah, you got 20k in grants but have to pay 23k in loans as soon as you start it.</p>
