Hello, Have any returning students received their financial aid award? When should we expect that?
I think ours showed up in the online portal this past Saturday the 6th.
Thanks for letting us know, @KaMaMom.
Just checked and ours is still not there. It’s a little frustrating at this point, to be honest, but I am trying to be patient (and grateful).
Ok, I was looking at the billing portal, but my D actually found our award on her YES.
If anyone is interested, from the main page on YES, click the “Applications” tab in the upper right corner, then click on “Financial Aid”.
That will take you to a sign-in screen. Fill in the same user name and password for YES. When a new tab opens, click on “Campus Finances”. Then click on “View Financial Ad” (and the appropriate year). This should open up your 2015-2016 financial aid award.
All that I can say is that I continue to be blown away by Vanderbilt’s generosity.
Although the portal is open, S2 award was not listed. We called FA office this morning and officer told us they are still working on many returning student files.
was listed last night…
My daughter’s scholarship is there, but not need-based or state HOPE scholarship… still waiting!
Still waiting here as well. Although just sent tax returns directly last week since there was a problem with my uploaded documents to IDOC a back in April. Financial aid office told me to just send the documents directly to them. I will mail to IDOC a next year (no problems last year when I did that).
The aid office is really good, but we did experience an issue 2 years because D did not file a tax return. She had to fill out a non-filer statement, and both years, it got lost after she submitted it. She realized it because it never updated as received in her financial aid portal. She just did it again & turned it in again.
Just wanted to post that when I called Financial Aid on Friday, they said that the returning students’ posted awards weren’t finalized. I dunno if that’s for everyone, but that’s certainly a big relief for me, because
Still have not gotten financial aid for returning student. Should I call or are they still working on it?
We are also still waiting.
Still waiting here as well
We are still waiting. Anyone else?
yep!!! still waiting : /
Still waiting here as well. Don’t forget to check your to-do list on YES btw!
Our financial aid (Need based grant) just showed up yesterday.
Still waiting!
My daughter said her friends’ financial aid awards were posted last night. Not ours! Has anyone else checked?
Just checked. Ours is posted. What a relief. Once again, Vanderbilt financial aid is awesome!!!
