<p>Anyone willing to share their FAFSA Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) and aid they received from USF? D's Admission's Letter is dated 03/20th but still no finanacial packet received. Any insight would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>According to previous years, they’ve come out within the first week of April.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, I have an EFC of 1500 and am estimating 12k from USF. I’ll update you when I get my FA packet.</p>
<p>I was accepted a while ago as well but have not received my financial aid award letter. I received an award letter from Menlo College for about $26,000. Will the amount for USF be around the same since it’s based on the FAFSA? Thank’s for your help!</p>
<p>I received my Financial Aid Award letter today. I’m pretty sure each school differs on how much aid they give to you. I received a substantial amount from USF. More than the other schools that have given me aid. Then again those schools are in different states so I’m not sure if that matters. If I got mine today, you’ll probably get yours today or within the week.</p>
<p>we had an EFC of 13K and we only got the $5500 in loans and work study 
Not looking good at this point.</p>
<p>BTW- other Catholic schools (U of Seattle, Gonzaga) offered a lot more and based on the same FAFSA so it seems USF is more tight with their money. I was told by the Fianncial Aid office today that even though we’ve shown need (+2 kids in college), grants at USF are merit based (GPA/SAT/ACT)…</p>
<p>@lebibliophile - do you mind sharing your stats or EFC? I haven’t heard of too many people getting substantial aid from USF - congrats!</p>
<p>@soosmoos- I applied to SeattleU and they offered 27K which is a good amount, but still not enough for me to afford the rest of the tuition. </p>
<p>Stats:
3.5 GPA
1740 SAT
Only volunteer work was at a Kaiser Hospital
No extracurriculars besides Book Club
First in my family to attend college.
I come from a diverse background as well, but I’m not sure if they care a lot about this. </p>
<p>My EFC is 01168. </p>
<p>I will say my FA package from USF has given me over 40K in aid.</p>
<p>lebibliophile, by “aid” how much of that was grants and scholarships? :\ Only if you’re okay with sharing. For some reason my financial aid package STILL isn’t out, although they told me it should be out by Monday…</p>
<p>Was awarded a substantial amount of financial aid but sadly i wont be able to attend.</p>
<p>EFC: 0
GPA: 4.1
SAT(CR &math): 1170</p>
<p>Merit scholarship- $10,000
State tuition grant-$8,000
work study-$2,500
Pell-$5645
Cal Grant A-$9,000
loans(stafford, perkins)-$8,500</p>
<p>@meow443 - They gave me $7500 in loans, $3000 in work study and the rest (rather not say, but a considerable amount, 30K+) is from grants. Right now I’m applying for scholarships to help pay the rest of the tuition and hopefully I’ll get enough that I won’t need to use the loans. I hope you get your package soon!</p>
