Fairfield University Class of 2024

Congrats to those who have been accepted! Does anyone know when the financial aid info will be sent out? Is it updated on the portal or sent via mail?

@“IMPATIENT MOM” the Financial Aid Office said EA awards will be sent out in February. Make sure all documents in addition to the CSS Profile have been sent in such as Tax returns and w-2’s.

Does anyone know how quickly they will let ED2 peeps know? Cut off for app is Jan 15th…Thanks…

I found it…Feb 15th…

Hi All! Congrats on all your acceptances!
My son got in EA to the business school and got the Loyola Scholarship, Stupid me never did the CSS - deadline was in December. Does it make sense to still do it or have I officially missed that boat?

@Tiki24 Financial Aid Office posted on December 20th that if you have not already to get the Fafsa and CSS Profile completed asap and by the latest April 1st in order to get full financial aid package by decision deadline of May 1st.

@jcd716 Thanks. It can’t hurt to try. My Fasfa has been in but because he EA’d to a bunch I thought I had missed out,

@ABC2024 Other Schools my son applied for CS: University New Haven (accepted); Wentworth, Marist, University of Vermont (deferred), University of New Hampshire (accepted to alternate program - Undeclared).

@CT2018Grad
Did you consider Sacred Heart? Their computer science is good… we were really impressed by their new west campus and curriculum…it’s one of the schools we are still waiting to know the results…
Fairfield is regular decision for us but not sure about acceptance

@Neely A friend’s son graduated from WPI with a CS degree a couple or years ago. He loved WPI and Worcester. He had some good internships. His first job out of school was for $120,000 in Boston at a place he had interned. His second, in LA, was for $150,000. Money isn’t everything but it sure makes things easier. He has good quality of life, good working hours etc. I sure wish my DD was interested in CS!! Good luck to your son!

Did anyone hear about honors program?

@alogan My D received notification of automatic admit into honors program as a Magis scholar on 1/17.

We haven’t heard anything yet- Are decisions posted on the portal or via mail? The portal has her major and a student ID#…but no “decision”

@jmraf we are waiting too…My son applied ED2…We sent his 1st MP grades in as well as they were very good!

The site says ED2 decision BY Feb 15th…

Do you mind sharing your stats?

S received financial aid packet in the mail today. While he did get a nice scholarship, which was included in his acceptance letter, he did not get any aid other than the federal loans ($5500)

@Impatient Mom…Is the scholarship a nice $$ figure?? IF you don’t mind me asking…

Received award packet today as well. They gave us great scholarships and grant $$. Fairfield is now number 1 on our list in terms of financials. This was one of the schools we did not have an opportunity to visit, so now I need to plan a trip.

I’m really dying to know how much money you guys are getting LOL
