Financial aid

<p>I have not received a financial aid statement from Bryn Mawr yet, through snail mail, email, or their virtual portal.</p>

<p>I am very concerned as the May 1st deadline is approaching!</p>

<p>My parents are divorced. Mom has been unemployed (disabled) and we live with her parents. Father in another country, does not contribute. Called BMC a “school for spoilt girls” <notice his="" misspelling="">.</notice></p>

<p>My mother contacted BMC about my father’s missing CSS documents (he did not want to fill them out) and has not heard back from the financial aid office yet.</p>

<p>However, for MOSAIC/Open Campus, Bryn Mawr gave me a travel scholarship.</p>

<p>Is that a good sign?
Am I currently still able to be a candidate for financial aid?
Am I still able to be considered for various scholarships as defined in the BMC fin.aid. handbook, such as the 125th anniversary scholarship?</p>

<p>What sort of packages (breakdown by grants/work study/loans/etc.) have other people received this year?</p>

<p>Currently, mother’s income/assets: 0, same for me. If we didn’t live with her parents, we’d be legit homeless.</p>

<p>The good news is that Bryn Mawr is pretty good about late documents. I submitted supporting documents for my financial aid application as late as July once, and it did not affect my eventual financial aid award.</p>

<p>The bad news is that this first financial aid award is time-sensitive for you, as you need to decide which college to attend. I hope you’ll get everything sorted out in time. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!</p>

<p>I received a reply from BMC, can a mod delete this?</p>
