<p>I recieved my Financial Aid Award in the mail today, so start checking your mailboxes.</p>
<p>when did you find out about your acceptance? I found out in October but havent gotten any financial aid packet yet</p>
<p>I don’t think when you were accepted has anything to do with when you aid package is completed. Probably has more to do with when your FAFSA was completed and I had mine done on 1/2/2009.</p>
<p>I am sure they will have them all out shortly. I was surprised to find they don’t put them online instead of sending them snail mail.</p>
<p>You’re probably right. I think I sent mine in at the end of February so it will probably be a bit then.</p>
<p>I received full tuition a few months ago, so is my aid award in addition to full tuition?</p>
<p>What does the award letter say? In addition to full tuition, some departments do give more money. Nursing and engineering are two that I know of. Do you qualify for need-based aid beyond the full tuition?</p>
<p>I got my letter today and I got more than I was expecting. (Although I was expecting very little to no financial aid). It was a pleasant surprise.</p>
<p>Nothing in the mail for my son. We are just in NY, and my son was accepted in Oct. so hmmmmm…I would love to get that FA letter.</p>
<p>Everything that was on my award other than my full tuition scholarship was loans and work study. I am a little surprised, but not terribly so…</p>
<p>My daughter recieved her’s yesterday. We had some hope based on the FAFSA. She qualified for loans (3 types), work study AND a Pitt Freshman Grant. She is OOS so it will almost make her equal to our in-state tuition.</p>
<p>So the Pitt freshman grant is only for one year?</p>
<p>im a nursing major and i received a few grants, a nursing loan, and then a couple other loans…i knew my family needed a lot since my father has MS and all, but we still have to come up with 8k a year not including the loans they already gave me in my award letter :/</p>
<p>That is my understanding that there is a grant for Freshman only. I may be wrong. They next year they qualify for other items. Would not hurt to confirm my info with the Financial Aid office.</p>
<p>I got a total of about $19,000 in aid, $9,000 in a grant and the rest in loans and work study. I don’t think that’s awful, right? hahaha.</p>
