Financial aid package?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Missouri - Columbia

<p>We have been getting a lot of mail from Mizzou recently for admitted students. But we have yet to receive any letter containing any scholarship or financial aid award. </p>

<p>Will we get a letter detailing any aid, or is there someplace on the website we should look for this?</p>

<p>We paid the enrollment deposit upon acceptance because it was refundable, but the time is approaching for us to ask for a refund if son is not attending. He can't make a decision to attend or not without a financial aid/scholarship offer in hand.</p>

<p>Any advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>When I called financial aid I was told all scholarship information should be mailed out by mid-April, and from what I can gather FAFSA packages should be coming soon this month.</p>

<p>On the Mizzou Undergraduates site under Apply as a Freshman it lists the deadlines.</p>

<p>April 10: Students who qualify for financial aid receive their award confirmations.</p>

<p>Has your son decided on Mizzou? I know you were not 100% sure.</p>

<p>Check out MyZou.missouri.edu. When we go in we can see what scholarships and financial information she will be awarded under campus finances.</p>

<p>We got our financial aid package today. Mark Twain non resident, 5500/year, and something called the GE Huggins, for 1500/year. Total 7K/year in scholarships. Offered 24K in loans, including the federal totalling 5500, and a parent option for the remainder. COA was listed as 31K. We’re OOS. </p>

<p>No mention of National Merit in there, but son did not list Mizzou as first choice, so I assume that’s why he didn’t get a package for that. </p>

<p>Will need to call about that.</p>

<p>Anyone know what the GE Huggins scholarship is? We didn’t apply for anything specific like that. Son is admitted as a biomedical engineering major, but was not admitted to the honors college.</p>

<p>I’m sure the GE Huggins Scholarship is one of the given scholarships you got by filling out the Mizzou Scholarship application that was due by 12/1/10. DD got a Columns scholarship for $2000 a year from the Scholarship application.</p>

<p>We got ours about a week ago. It was a non-subsidized loan of $5,500 per year.</p>

<p>Montegut, in the loan portion of your financial aid package, did it list a parents plus loan as one of the loans?</p>
