<p>Hey,
I applied and was accepted for RPI a few hours ago. However for financial aid I only recieved $9,000 and have to pay $48,000. This is more than my family makes per year. Our EFC is only $1500 according to FAFSA. I was wondering how everyone recieved more than $9,000. Was there a specific Financial Aid form which you needed to fill out? I completed the FAFSA and sent that in. Was there anything else I needed to complete?
I would really like to go to RPI but I would not be able to afford the cost at all if I don't recieve any more finanical aid.</p>
<p>same here. i got $15k only, and my EFC is $0. (reaaaalllly low fam income)</p>
<p>is my financial aid excluding loans or what?</p>
<p>You needed to do the CSS Profile.</p>
<p>They didnt even give me a financial aid letter…how’d you guys get yours so fast @.@</p>
<p>From what I have seen they don’t seem to always be giving huge amounts for the lower income brackets. My EFC was 3k ish but the still left 19k per year. Regardless, you need to send in a CSS profile and probably give them a call.</p>
