Fafsa lateness help

<p>I filed my FAFSA on February 19, 2010. I was wondering why I didn't receive my financial aid letter until I check on March 29, 2010 that there was a signature error that need to be corrected. I resubmitted and on April 13, 2010, I made a final correction. I received my financial aid letter just a few days after I submitted it, which was weird because it arrived so soon. </p>

<p>I read the letter and from what I'm getting, it is impossible to attend UB without being in severe debt. </p>

<p>University at Buffalo is around 20k. I'm receiving 4k from Pell, and 3k from Tap. This comes out to 13k a year!</p>

<p>In the pamphlet, it states, "Please note that you must file the FAFSA each year by march 1 if you wish to be considered for campus-based funds, such as federal Work-Study, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), Perkins, and Health Professions Loans." </p>

<p>Is it possible for them to reconsider me for these grants?? I was inexperienced and stupid about not checking my FAFSA... My family makes around 3 grand a year, 1.5k to mortgage and etc expense to the household. </p>

<p>P.S. - I am regular omit.</p>

<p>You should pick up the phone and call the Financial Aid office tomorrow…don’t wait!</p>

<p>Excuse me, that was 3 grand a month. Thanks, I’m going to call them tomorrow and hope for the best.</p>
