Financial Aid Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Yesterday I got the famous letter, and am pretty set on going to Columbia, but I have one question that may determine whether or not I will be able to afford Columbia.</p>

<p>I checked my financial aid page, and there was a Columbia Grant listed for the fall semester, and the same grant listed for the spring semester. Does this mean that the amount listed is deducted twice from my annual payment, or just once?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Twice! Once for each semester. :D</p>

<p>Yup, twice. If it’s, say, five thousand for each semester, that means a total of ten thousand less you have to pay for the whole year, or in other words, the amount left to pay goes from 50k a year to 40k a year.</p>

<p>Thank you SO much! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :)</p>

<p>It looks like I’ll be paying less for Columbia than my sister does for a state school. :P</p>
