Financial Aid

<p>Does anyone know when we will be notified of financial aid packages? Mine didn't come with my acceptance letter but i'm guessing it's because I didn't realize they wanted me to send in a verificaion form and i just mailed it last week....but everything else was on time. and is UNH usually generous about financial aid?</p>

<p>I have no Idea when they will be in the mail...but they did give me a $6,000 dollar a year scholarship, and I'm out of state with average stats...so they seem to be pretty generous.</p>

<p>good question rma32... let us know if you hear anything. I haven't heard anything about financial aid yet either.</p>

<p>I'm oos and i applied early & was accepted. still havent heard about financial aid.</p>

<p>what's "oos" I have seen it in other posts, and don't know what it means?</p>

<p>o- out
o - of
s - state</p>

<p>lol, I didnt know what it meant at first either.</p>

<p>I hope soon!</p>

<p>I just found out my financial aid. Go to MyUNH and then webcast or something like that.</p>

<p>Ah..thanks.</p>

<p>Hey..just checked..thanks linkinpark. UNH is pretty generous...26,000 dollars. 23,000 if ya take out work study. And...let's see..take out loans, it's $18,000 in free money. Gotta love the "UNH non-resident tuition grant - $7,500"</p>

<p>Yeah, lol, you do, its awesome. I got $19,000 overall.</p>

<p>how do you know how much you got? when i go to it there is no history for anything or information except when i click on Award Payment Schedule and it lists Federal pell Grants...and then it has a total amount...is this the amount of help i'm getting or the amount i'm expected to pay?</p>

<p>Totalt amount your getting. Hey if ya got the money, your not gonna get much.</p>

<p>Edit: Total**</p>

<p>Linkinpark, was it 19,000 total? Or is that without work-study and loans?</p>

<p>It's with work study and $5,500 in loans.</p>

<p>Nice. Much more generous than UVM.</p>

<p>I was gonna apply to UVM lol but decided not to last second.</p>

<p>hmm...this isn't very good then. i definitely don't have the money and the only award showing up is Pell Grants which aren't very much</p>

<p>ignore my last post..i just checked this morning and my FA info was updated. i have a few questions..i'll call UNH on monday but thought i'd ask you guys too because i don't really know what all this info means since it's the first financial aid package i've had to look at. </p>

<ol>
<li>for the work study it gives me an amount...what exactly does this amount mean? does it mean i get a job and can make up to that amount in a year? or do i just get a job for a certain number of hours and they'll break down the amount it says and pay me that much bi weekly?</li>
<li>what is an ACG-1st year grant/loan...does that have to be paid back or not?</li>
<li>can outside scholarships be applied to room & board?</li>
</ol>

<p>This question is for OOS admitted students. Is UNH non-resident tuition grant renewable for all 4 years, and is there a gpa requirement to keep it? Would you get this in year 5, if it took 5 years to graduate? Thanks.</p>
