Financial aid Award Letter?

<p>hey guys i just got my financial aid letter today...
im kinda confused? </p>

<p>these are the awards I got: </p>

<p>FEDERAL PELL GRANT
ACADEMIC COMPETITIVENESS GRANT
ESTIMATED NJ TAG
FED SUPP EDUC OPPORTUNITY GRANT<br>
FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN
FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAM
RUTGERS ASSISTANCE GRANT
FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN-SUBSIDIZED
FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN-UNSUBSIDIZED </p>

<p>the total amount came out to be in the 20,000 range...
heres my question?</p>

<p>are these all money I can use to reduce my tuition?
or is this actually my tuition for a year?</p>

<p>Financial aid is used to reduce tuition… Hence you pretty much have to pay like 2-5k more and that’s it.</p>
