<p>Has anyone received their financial aid package from MSU? When can I expect to receive mine?</p>

2

<p>According to the college board website, MSU starts sending out Fin. aid packages March 15, rolling. Still haven't received mine, I'm so darn impatient...</p>

3

<p>Just got an email. Financial aid packages are now available online! Yay for 20 thousand in loans!</p>

4

<p>Fa-la, how did you get to see that? Have you already accepted at MSU?</p>

5

<p>Fa-la -</p>

<p>Does that make MSU unaffordable? Or is that good news? (sarcasm doesn't travel very well through text)</p>

6

<p>It's not completely unaffordable and MSU still is one of my top choices, but its not good either (its what I expected, given my EFC). Yeah, i was already accepted back in november.</p>

7

<p>My son was accepted at MSU too - I just wondered how you could see your financial package online and where you saw it at. We've been waiting to get his in the mail and haven't received it yet.</p>

8

<p>I got mine as well. It came to my MSU email. Mine wasn't very good, but that made my final school decision easy.</p>

9

<p>Yay! i got mine. So im so confused on this financial aid stuff. They gave my parents a parent plus loan enough to pay for full tuition (oos) so is that good or bad?</p>

10

<p>A plus loan is given to practically anybody who applies for aid. It is not real aid, persay, just borrowing with some pretty high interest, so I'd say its bad if you were looking to get grants, free money, or subsidized (interest free in college) loans.</p>

11

<p>Do you have to commit to MSU if you activate the MSU email to view your financial aid package?</p>

12

<p>how can I look at financial package online? does anyone have the website?</p>

13

<p>You don't have to commit to MSU to activate your email account. With the acceptance letter came a set of instructions which tell you how its done. I think this is the site to activate the account:
<a href="https://netid.msu.edu/activate.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://netid.msu.edu/activate.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thank you for the info bennis</p>

15

<p>yup, i got 20 thousand in loans too.</p>

<p>this is bull.</p>

<p>the only "aid" i got is $1400 in grants.</p>

<p>ugh.</p>

16

<p>Since the price is 20 thousand then some of you must have got the Pell Grant. The Michigan Promise Scholarship and the Michigan Competitive Scholarship will show up later if you live in MI and got good grades. Also some scholarships from MSU may show up later.</p>

17

<p>sorry, I take that back. You could have 20 thousand in loans if live out of state.</p>

18

<p>20k in loans for oos? you serious?</p>

19

<p>Well, my kid is in-state and we are offered 14,000 in loans and 2,000 in student employment (he is not in honors) so wouldn't out-of-state be more?</p>

20

<p>$ 20,000 in loans !!!!! How the hell do they expect a family of 4 living in California to pay for that **** when my parent bearly make 20,000 !!!!</p>
