Financial aid

<p>I was recently admitted ED 2, however the financial aid package I received was not enough. What can I do?</p>

<p>Did you check the NPC before applying?</p>

<p>Yeah. It said my npc would be 7 000 a year. However, lehigh is only giving me 5 thousand dollars in aid a year</p>

<p>I think you should call the financial aid office. Be polite, but concerned.
You either need to rescind the offer, or correct some of your financial data.</p>

<p>It is possible that you entered the wrong information when you calculated your NPC, or you misentered information on your FASFA of CSS Profile.</p>

<p>I would guess that to have an NPC of 7000, your household income would have to be ~40,000.
I would guess that to gualify for a grant of 5,000, your household income would have to be less than 120,000.</p>

<p>If your parents have a business, or own rental property these estimates may be way off.</p>

<p>I’m a parent, and my children did not apply ED anywhere. I don’t think it makes sense unless you have a clear cut favorite, and are either very low or very high income.</p>

<p>:( i think i may not be able to go to Lehigh anymore… sigh… if only college was cheap…</p>
