<p>Daughter's financial aid award offer posted to wavenet account. I checked at 4pm. The award was a Stafford Loan. What a heart breaker.</p>
<p>I don’t have anything on mine. When are merit scholarships coming, anyone know?</p>
<p>they are already out</p>
<p>D’s Wavenet acct had aid award posted on tues afternoon. Then Wednesday it was not avail. Today it said “login access denied” when I clicked on financial aid link. This afternoon she received an email and the same “award” was posted that showed on tues. We were not expecting any merit aid but were hoping for a little grant as we simply can’t afford 58k/yr. I was really shocked that there was no aid offered. Pretty devastating as pepperdine was her top choice. Thankfully she was given excellent merit and need based aid at some other schools but it’s still a hard pill to swallow knowing she could have gone if she was offered even a little grant $. It was her financial reach school and she knew going into it what $ needed for her to attend.</p>
<p>I’m sorry 
Colleges have been very iffy about aid this year it seems…I am in the same boat. There are better opportunities out there for us that’s all!</p>
<p>On the Fafsa we were 0 EFC, so naturally I thought a little help but nope they want me to take out a 38,000 loan. Thats just ridiculous.</p>
<p>I got about $41k in grants plus my yearly gov check of 6-8 grand
I think im good</p>
<p>I’m so sorry to those of you who didn’t get the aid you were hoping for…hopefully things will work out, if not at Pepperdine then at somewhere else amazing. I was so blessed to get generous aid, so Pepperdine is a real possibility for me now.</p>
<p>I’m shocked to hear that so many people don’t get a lot of aid…from what I’ve heard, Pepperdine is generous with financial awards! I’m still not sure if I’ll be able to attend, but I did get a very good financial package. I hope things work out for everyone!</p>
<p>Also, jkl2016, I had the same thing happen to me. I called the financial aid office and they said that a glitch in their system caused the awards to be posted early…the first amounts were “unofficial”, in his words. So they had to take it down, tweak them however they needed, and repost.</p>
<p>Did any of you guys get an email that told you the finaid was up on wavenet?</p>
<p>^ yes I got an email. I however forgot to put my SSN on my application so Pepperdine has to process my app again and will give me word on a scholarship/FA within the next week. no wonder nothing came up when I checked…</p>
