<p>When do returning students receive financial aid letters?</p>
<p>For the current school year, my 2nd-year S received a request for verification last May. Then there was a request for some more information in June. In July, we still hadn’t received an award letter. When I called at the end of July, they told me they were still putting his “package” together. In August, they requested some more information. We actually received several bills showing the total amount due for the fall semester with “0” under “pending financial aid”. That made us nervous, but each time we called, they assured us they were working on the package and not to pay anything yet. He didn’t actually receive the official award letter until September, and it turned out to be very similar to what he received as a First Year.
I would call the FinAid office if you have any concerns.</p>
