Financial Aid

<p>Does anyone know when St. Olaf will send out financial aid info?
Thanks!</p>

<p>It is my understanding that it will be after the Buntrock Scholars competition, which is this weekend.</p>

<p>Thanks, hokiefan!</p>

<p>Mmomm,
In the letter they sent regarding financial aid a while back, it says accepted students awards are sent starting the first week of March, if you had your profile in on time. It also says that if you are applying for a scholarship, then you will not receive the award until after the scholarships have been determined. My S is not waiting for a merit scholarship, but has not received his finaincial aid, either.</p>

<p>My S received his FA award today. VERY generous package, best of all the schools by far. St Olaf was his first choice, and it is very exciting that we can now afford it!!!</p>

<p>congratulations collma!!! :)
glad to hear that St. Olaf is generous with fin aid packages. I'm waiting for my fin aid info.</p>

<p>Thanks, smiley 1.</p>

<p>Hope your FA info comes soon...it is such a relief!</p>

<p>I'm so happy for you that the aid is generous. My son got scholarship info in the mail today, which was great, but we still are waiting for the financial aid info. I hope our experience is as good as yours!</p>

<p>Music scholarship people should get financial aid packages this week - they didn't mail out decisions before yesterday (at least that's what the website says) </p>

<p>Congrats collma!</p>

<p>just curious--have any of the people who were at the buntrock competition gotten their financial aid packages yet?</p>

<p>nope, still waiting....</p>

<p>I haven't gotten music scholarship info either...</p>

<p>A Minnesotan girl I know got her music package on Friday. Assuming they mailed them all out at once, that means we Easterners should get ours any day now.</p>

<p>nothing here yet and I live like 25 minutes from northfield......</p>

<p>I got music notification today and I live in upstate New York! What a relief :-)</p>

<p>I got the buntrock scholarship notification today, but I didn't get the financial aid package yet. I thought that they would send them together, but I guess not.</p>

<p>I'm another Buntrocker, and I haven't got mine yet, either. E-mailed an admissions counselor who said I should expect it a week after next monday (which would be the 14th)</p>

<p>My son received his Buntrock letter today---YAY!! We are in the northeast. Now, the time of decisions! I would love to hear from people, current students maybe, or anyone, about the academic rigor of St. Olaf, and about prospects for graduate school, St. Olaf as the launching platform. I know this is a finan. aid thread, but....and what about graduate school? In talking with our son, I realized our ignorance, we really have little clue as to how graduate school is paid for. I suspect liberal arts type of subjects have far less financial aid available, than sciences. Any enlightenment?</p>

<p>@all–what about financial aid to international students? Any idea?</p>
