<p>Just wondering if anyone knows when our financial aid packages will be available (be in online or in the mail). I tried searching online with no luck, and I know they're not posted on Vanderbilt's page yet (Vanderbilt</a> University office of Financial Aid: Bulletin - "Go to My Personal Financial Aid link"). Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Well I don’t know if THEY even know. I called at the end of May, and they said sometime in June, but I got an email in my Vandy account that said July to early August…</p>
<p>
Maybe that means that we’ll get the paper invoice in July and e-bill in August? I hope.</p>
<p>Gaaaah. That’s so late. Other schools are getting them like this week.</p>
<p>I usually got them in mid or late July</p>
<p>Last year we got D’s in mid-June. Hope they are ready soon - it’s hard to plan without knowing how much aid she will be getting. We have another in college this year, so I don’t really know what the package is going to look like.</p>
<p>They’re going out in waves right now, I spoke to the aid office.</p>
<p>Does anyone here have a completed package yet?</p>
<p>Called VU last Friday. Was told that they were mailing out information “end of June”</p>
<p>Okay - time to resurrect this thread. Has anyone heard yet?</p>
<p>I got mine the other day. Weird thing is that there was some sort of scholarship/grant included in my package that I never applied for. Whatever. Free money, I’ll take it.</p>
<p>crs1909,
Sometimes you get an unexpected gift. The last 2 years, D got a $400 award at the VU Bookstore in the spring semester as part of a group of (I think) 200 students who were not receiving any assistance beyond moderate tuition grants/loans/etc.</p>
<p>I got a lot more than 400. About 5600 more.</p>
<p>I should specify, I haven’t gotten my package through the mail yet. I checked my package online.</p>
<p>Lucky you! Congrats!</p>
<p>once again I remembered why I love vandy :)</p>
<p>My D has had a very large scholarship she didn’t apply for on her financial aid page for about a month. But I don’t think the package is complete, because she should be getting a grant in addition to that … we have two in college next year, and the scholarship isn’t for as much as we received in need based aid with just her in school. That is why I am wondering. If that is all she is getting, we are in trouble. I don’t want to panic prematurely, though, in case more will appear in the package.</p>
<p>Ohhh … just logged into her account & her package is complete. It’s wonderful! :)</p>
<p>Great, well I hope I’m the only one who got screwed over. We’ll be paying 4k more per year unless I can appeal out of it, since we can’t pay that much more.</p>
<p>edit — we didn’t make any more money this year, our assets went down, etc. I have no idea why aid decreased.</p>
