<p>As I wrote on another board, I now realize all of my years of hard work in high school did not get rewarded financially! It all comes down to our parents' income. What happened to "do well in high school and you will receive scholarships to college"?!!!</p>
<p>I definitely can't afford 50k a year or even close to that. But, they have decided not to grant me ANY money. Looks like the school is crossed off my list.</p>
<p>I am wondering who got the money? Are their endowments down or something? It seems I am not alone in the "EFC not met" category!</p>
<p>i was very lucky last year to recieve a very generous fin aid package from nova last year... doesn't sound like the trend continued this year :(. the only major scholarships nova gives out are the presidential, and then some other very small ones like you have seen. it's just the way they do things... i can't believe tuition went up so much... it was only 47ish last year! thats a lot... good luck with everything... and don't rule nova out just because of money. i can honestly say my experience here has been worth every penny!</p>
