<p>Does anyone know when FSU financial aid packages will be posted on our blackboard for Fall 2011?</p>
<p>I spoke with a gentleman in financial aid yesterday and he said not until May. That seems late though. Summer aid will be out this weekend according to this same gentleman. </p>
<p>I had previously spoken with a lady at the beginning of March who said by the end of the month (March). She said they will be running summer first (which is backwards from how they normally do it) and then fall one week later. This is supposedly due to the fact that they are moving from an old system to a new completely different one.</p>
<p>FSU Financial Aid will start to come out on March 20th and onward until the end of March. </p>
<p>If i’m not mistaken the financial aid representative told me that in some cases summer and fall will come together(if your attending summer and fall)…maybe not not really sure on that one </p>
<p>but definitely check March 20th</p>
<p>I thanks for clarifying, I got a letter saying the 15th of march and nothing ever showed on the fsu site!</p>
<p>Yea it will be on March 20th and onward and clarification if you’re atending both summer and fall the your financial package will come together</p>
<p>to check your financial aid package you go to your student aid financial toolkit</p>
<p>i just tried to check and there wasnt anyhting there ='(</p>
<p>So did I…I didn’t see anything either
maybe they don’t give it out on a Sunday maybe on a business day…i don’t know I’ll keep checking throughout the day I guess :/</p>
<p>Does FSU give a lot of aid to out of state students?</p>
<p>It really all depends but from what i’ve seen I don’t think so because most public universities can’t fully fund in-state students so imagine out of state…but you never know you will probably get what you expected
it varies from year to year…</p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything</p>

<p>Damn! i was kind of hoping they gave pretty good aid 
It’s one of my top choices!</p>
<p>I spoke with Mr. Nyahuma this morning who told me last week it would go out between March 18-20th and he was surprised that my daughter’s was not showing up. He checked her file and said he has no idea why her financial aid did not drop in this weekend because she has had everything completely finalized since Oct. 2010 (for summer) and January 3rd (for fall) He did confirm that they worked the weekend but mentioned that something may have happened since they have so many campuses. I am on hold with the financial aid office now to find out what the latest update is - I will post once I have spoken with them today.</p>
<p>Financial Aid confirmed that FIRST TIME students financial aid information will fall into their profiles tonight. However they will be doing testing on their system so they do not anticipate that the student toolkit will be available until sometime tomorrow afternoon for students to actually see their financial aid award. If you are starting in the summer, like my daughter, then your summer financial aid award will be viewable. If you are starting in the fall, then your fall financial aid award will be viewable. Again, this is for FIRST TIME students. Students already enrolled and continuing their education will receive notifications later (no date yet determined) and students starting in the summer that are waiting to hear about fall awards will also receive fall notification later (no date yet determined). That’s the word this morning from FSU’s financial aid office.</p>
<p>janna thankyou soo much for telling me this info =) aprreciate it! now ill just wait to check till tomorrow. tytyty</p>
<p>Thank You sooooo much Janna, I’ve been waiting for this for like EVER lol. Financial Aid is the deal maker/breakers for me and FSU so u can only imagine how anxious i’ve been.</p>
<p>idk if it means anything will be posted tonight, but I just checked the Financial Aid site and it says “The Financial Aid System is currently down for processing. Please check back in 30 minutes. We apologize for any inconvenience.”</p>
<p>yeah i’ve been seeing that too… according to Janna we won’t be able to see anything until tommorow…</p>
<p>TAV252 - That message pops up almost every night (I have been obsessively checking for months now - lol). The financial aid office was very specific that the status tool would be down until tomorrow afternoon at which point students would be able to check their aid package. However, they have given out incorrect information in the past and I know that many times information is available prior to their given timeline. I suppose we will all be stalking the FSU site for the next 24 hours or so. :-)</p>
<p>Hey Guys - some of the financial aid is out there. My daughter, who was supposed to find out her summer financial aid, actually has nothing posted for summer but all of her fall information is there. Good Luck!</p>
<p>I got my aid…it sucks… I only got $1,800… WOW that’s going to do WONDERS… I hope the rest of you got what you wanted!</p>
<p>DantexXx - I spoke with financial aid this morning about the fact that my daughter’s financial aid for Summer 2010 has not yet fallen in (even though Fall and Summer are there) and expressed my concern that we are only weeks out from her arriving at FSU and have no idea what our financial investment will be for this term. The lady I spoke with said if you get your award and it’s not enough to call financial aid, they will review your file and see what they can do for you. It’s worth a try. I hope it works out.</p>
<p>Everyone else - an update. There were some problems late yesterday afternoon with their system testing so while they the student status tool to be back online late this afternoon FSU is now saying it will be next week before summer financial aid falls in. The lady I spoke with said this timeframe is an estimate and it could be sooner if the testing issues are corrected more quickly. She recommended frequent checking of the online status tool.</p>
<p>Have a good day!</p>
