<p>hi, im still in the process of deciding which college to go to, and money is a pretty big factor. i have a question that maybe you guys could help answer?
i was offered a grant of 25k to chicago, and i believe its pretty good. but the thing is, would they still offer the same amount next year, and the following years? is it possible they may be offering a lot now to get me in the system and then start offering less/or none at all? i know that you have to apply for financial aid every year, but..just wondering how it really works! thanks.</p>
<p>pintrading,
the grant amount will be determined by your family's financial situation in the futute as it was for this year: FAFSA for the federal aid component, PROFILE for the college grants. Chicago is a reputable school, doesn't do the bait and switch manuvuer that some colleges do with merit aid.</p>
<p>Congrats on your acceptance, and good luck making a decision!</p>
