<p>So i'm in-state, and was expecting my need to be filled with loans and work study.</p>
<p>What MSU did was fill the entire cost of attendance with grants, loans, and work study. </p>
<p>Granted, loans far outweighed any other factor, but I still thought it was interesting that they did aid this way. Not really looking at EFC and need, but filling the sticker price. Maybe this is just for in-state students though.</p>
<p>it was the same here. i can't believe MSU didn't give me ANY scholarship whatsoever! So, why should I go to MSU rather than U of M?</p>
<p>They offered me a parent loan when we check off we didn't want any! Now I am short almost 8000 for the first year, if I were to go here.</p>
<p>I know what you mean!!! </p>
<p>I am in-state so expected very little, but I am a five time legacy and expected at least something from that. they did offer me some random loans, but my family isn't intersted in loans (and told them that). AHHH frustration. </p>
<p>Still waiting to see if Mizzou gives me money, because then I am getting the hell out of dodge...haha</p>
<p>um, i was offered ZERO scholarships or financial aid in any way whatsoever..... and i'm going into the honors college</p>
<p>too bad they base it all on last years financial stats; my dad has been unemployed since january :-/</p>
<p>Seems to me MOST of you in-staters have it better off, despite the fact you didn't get any scholarships. You have a cheaper tuition and receive better Financial Aid packages (from what I hear here). I think I got a $7k scholarship and $3-5k Study Abroad scholarship but my financial aid package is terrible. It really isn't going to cut it. I don't see how they expect my family to pay as much as they say they should be able to. <em>shrug</em> Oh well. I guess that's the way it goes though. It was my choice to go out-of-state.</p>
