Financial Aid

<p>Has anyone received their financial aid thru eLion? I got mine today, but there was only info on a pell and state grant. Wondering if there is more aid on the way or this is final? There is nothing on what the school gives-work study, loans, institutional grants, etc</p>

<p>You should get everything by the end of the week. (Finger crossed)</p>

<p>Mine included a scholarship I received and a PA state grant.</p>

<p>Did you get something in the mail or was it online?</p>

<p>It was online check your elion.</p>

<p>Online, via eLion</p>

<p>i only got so little… so depressed</p>

<p>My S’s eLion doesn’t have anything listed under the Student Aid Program section. No Fed Loan, nothing at all. The COA is listed below that section. Does that mean more info will get input later this week?</p>

<p>More info should be given because I didn’t even get any loans yet just grants. Oh and also make sure that your fafsa wasn’t selected for verification.</p>

<p>My D received a small amount of aid from the school but no reference to loans. Im assuming she will be able to get an unsubsidized federal loan at least.</p>

<p>On my eLion, only loans show up, and not much in loans. Is this all? Will any more be coming? I had a little notification saying that the aid starts in late March and will be updated every week. Will more come?</p>

<p>From what you guys have said, it seems like new information is still to come…but I’m just wondering if anyone has been offered work study yet? That seems to be the only part of my financial aid package that’s missing, besides the bucket of cash they seem to have forgotten ;)</p>

<p>they gave me like $5…in loan. so basically nothing, and I called the office of financial aid and they said even though its not completely updated not much will change. I got NO grants or scholarships. I don’t see how I’m going to afford this school. This is RIDICULOUS. I’ve heard of bad financial aid but this is just despicable. My family doesn’t even make $100k a year and they give me $5500 in grants. I don’t even know what to do.</p>

<p>As we have been saying all along, don’t expect much aid from Penn State.</p>

<p>sop520, i feel u man. My EFC was very low and so far i have gotten $5000 in grants and $3500 in loans. Im hoping that later this week they put up some more institutional grants and/or scholarships. This is a state school and its supposed to be affordable. This is ridiculous. I got a good fin aid package from Lehigh. Any ideas on how i can negotiate with Penn State using Lehigh’s fin aid package?</p>

<p>I didn’t expect much but I expected something…all I got was loans that I have to pay back anyway. I wasnt expecting like half tuition but I expected at least somewhere around $10,000 which is pretty reasonable.</p>

<p>And from what I was told on the phone, they’re updating it tomorrow, but not by much. I was pretty much told mine wasn’t changing.</p>

<p>I received about $5,000 in loans. I’m very disheartened as it looked like PSU was going to be my school I was attending. Do you guys think that there will be more forthcoming tomorrow?</p>

<p>I don’t know my account ID. What the hell am I suppose to do?</p>

<p>@Samonuh It’s the same one you use to log into you ‘mypennstate’ account. Or at least for me it was.</p>
