Financial Aid dilemma

Hey guys,

I was accepted (international) but received no financial aid whatsoever. I used the Net price calculator and it showed that if I were to receive any kind of aid it was estimated >$50,000 per year. I would love to attend but I cannot if I do not get any aid. Do you guys think if I contact the financial aid offices and talk to them about this, they may reconsider and provide need based aid (because I need a lot) or will it be a fruitless endeavor? Have they ever reconsidered for aid?

Thanks in advance =)

Congrats to everyone else who got in and to those who didn’t, keep your head up high because there are better plans for you :slight_smile:

If the Grinnell NPC says you should receive approximately $50K/year in need based aid and you received none, something would seem to be very wrong. Grinnell meets full need.

Have you contacted the financial aid office by now?
