<p>PBK Mom, I'm in a similar situation to your daughter. I'll have to take out about 12k in loans every year myself, and my parents will take care of the other 13k.</p>
<p>Vagan, you have a good deal. I would love to have only 5200 in loans every year!!!!</p>
<p>Vagan....take it....</p>
<p>I'm just wondering why i'm not receiving any Federal grant. Its ****ing me off... grr.</p>
<p>lol, uyu...you're finaid isn't that bad though. But based on your reasons, I can see why you might have some trouble...</p>
<p>Anyway, I think I'm going to USC. :)</p>
<p>I recieved 2,000 in unsubsidized federal loans. Thanks USC. how do they expect me to pay 47,000 with a family that earns 100,000? *******s</p>
<p>is 2000 loan the only thing they gave you? (well your household does make like 3 times my dad does so)</p>
<p>Where and when did you guys view your financial aid packets?</p>
<p><a href="http://sig.usc.edu%5B/url%5D">http://sig.usc.edu</a></p>
<p>Oasis actually didn't list them yet... So i guess sig.usc.edu is faster</p>
<p>your financial aid package...is in you gateway? at sig.usc.edu</p>
<p>Our package was posted online this afternoon --</p>
<p>Yeah sig listed them first and Oasis didn't post them (i don't know if they still haven't, but they didn't yesterday) which leads me to believe sig is more accurate n faster...</p>
<p>man, i'm really worried, because not only did i miss the december deadline, but i also JUST got my tax forms faxed into USC a couple days ago. my efc's low, about 4000, so i'm really afraid of getting nothing...</p>
<p>Why are people saying I would only need $5200 in loans. Federal Perkins Loan $3,380 & Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan $2,625 are not loans I have to pay back? I thought I would have to take out $11205 a year...???</p>
<p>look at it this way - even if you take out $11,000 in loans every year, usc is giving you over 75% of your expenses in financial aid. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth! Having to pay $11,000 a year to attend usc is basically just paying only your living expenses on campus. They are giving you enough grants to pay your tuition!</p>
<p>I don't think ANY university will give you enough aid to pay everything! They all assume that you CAN GET A JOB and contribute.</p>
<p>This is what I am afraid of. Starting from next year, my parents are going to go back to my home country, Myanmar, as my sister and I will be going off to Universities. So, our family income will get even lower. And frankly, I don't know how we can show w/e $ we can make from another country. If any of you guys have experience w/ this, helpp me please. As I was saying, would a change of my situation, make me get a lower grant or higher as it should?</p>
<p>I don't think they can give you any more. There is a limit on how much they can give.</p>
<p>Do you or anyone out there know how our family can show our income from another country to USC?</p>
<p>I'm sure they have ways of figuring it out. Does your home country require a tax return? If so, they probably have you submit it. Are you a US citizen or do you have a student visa?</p>
<p>I am not a US citizen. I got here in my junior year. I have a Green Card though.</p>
