Financial Aid

<p>Does anyone know when NEU will be mailing out final aid packages? When I applied EA I got a tentative offer and I was wondering if that may have changed at all after applying for the FAFSA.</p>

<p>I updated my FAFSA when my family received our W2s, I received an updated aid package and it was still tentative. No “Northeastern” aid changed as my estimate was very close.</p>

<p>I updated my FAFSA again last night after our CPA finished our taxes (I changed “will file” to “already completed”). I’m hoping they will send me my final package as I want to send my deposit, but I am also going to use the IRS transfer tool when it becomes available (it says it could take 3 weeks after e-filing) and am positive I will receive my final package after doing that. The FAFSA states that if you do not use the IRS tool your school could ask for your tax returns be mailed to them.</p>

<p>tl:dr Your family probably has to finish your 2012 taxes to receive the final non-tentative package.</p>

<p>I also corrected my FAFSA after my parents filed their taxes. I’m in the same boat as you, I want to make sure my offer is final before I send in my deposit.</p>
