Financial Aid packages for returning students

<p>Does anyone know when returning students will learn of their financial aid packages? We sent ours in early and still haven't heard anything.</p>

<p>I’d call the FA office and ask them. Seems like you’d have heard by now. Does the FA page of the website give any guidance?</p>

<p>Ask your kid. We sent everything early as well. When I picked up our daughter on the 16th at Lafayette I off-handedly mentioned that the financial aid letter had not yet been received. Her response? “Oh, yeah, they sent it to me here at Lafayette.” Maybe she would have eventually told us on her own. Then again.</p>

<p>Hi, Hudsonvalley. Was it the real McCoy? After getting the scoop from someone else, I was directed to the Financial Aid website, which stated that notifications for returning students will be sent on June 30. I mailed mine in March although the deadline was May 8 on the advice of others on another college forum who advocated sending the application in early.</p>

<p>I think I’ll email the fin. aid office myself to be sure.</p>

<p>Yes, it was the real deal. As a matter of fact I called financial aid last week to question one item – I wasn’t actually appealing the award – and today’s mail brought a revised financial aid award with an increase in grant funding. I’m not complaining.</p>
