Financial Aid?

<p>Does anyone know when we find out about our financial aid award? It said mid-March so that's about now. Does it come in the mail or is it online?</p>

<p>My son got an email and accessed his award letter online. We were very disappointed that it consisted entirely of loans. My son will not attend. Perhaps you will be luckier!</p>

<p>I tried accessing it online. Is this where you went? <a href=“https://apps.uillinois.edu/selfservice/[/url]”>https://apps.uillinois.edu/selfservice/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It says I “do not currently have a Financial Aid Award Letter”</p>

<p>Below is the link. Make sure that you go to the drop down menu and select 2012-2013</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s the link used originally and then I went to financial aid and then award letter. It said I do not currently have one. Does everyone’s come up at the same time or do you think they go in a certain order?</p>

<p>It might make a difference if you are RD or ED. My son was ED.</p>

<p>Oh okay. Yeah, that actually makes sense. I was RD. Thanks for all your help! :)</p>

<p>My son does not have anything listed under Award Letter as well. He applied ED and was accepted into the biology program. We did not file a FAFSA as we know we would not be eligible for financial aid, however we were hoping for some merit money. We are OOS. Son’s friend (computer engineering) did file FAFSA, found out yesterday they did not get anything for financial aid so he is going to Purdue.</p>

<p>whoever applied for financial aid expect little to nothing. u of I has always been very very very stingy with the financial aid money</p>
