<p>all my requirements have been fulfilled and there's no information on any aid till now. My fafsa efc is really low.
I was wondering- when does UIUC inform students about aid?</p>

2

<p>They say we should receive our information on aid by the end of March at the latest.</p>

3

<p>how did u apply for the FAFSA…onlu US citizens or eligible non citizens can??..where did u get an SSN</p>

4

<p>I am an US citizen thus i have always had an SSN.</p>

<p>end of march- thanks Dvm.</p>

5

<p>You are given a SSN when you are born. I am not sure about the other procedures for naturalized citizens. Generally, I think that you can only apply for FAFSA if you’re eligible for a SSN.</p>

6

<p>You are not giving a Social Security Number at birth.</p>

7

<p>My folks applied for a Ssn before I left the hoapital</p>

8

<p>I was just able to look at my financial aid using my NetID and using the Enterprise system. Maybe it will work for you guys.</p>

9

<p>how do u get the enterprise id stuff and the net id???</p>

<p>Once you get your EnterpriseID, go to <a href=“https://eas.admin.uillinois.edu/eas/servlet/EasLogin?redirect=https://webprod.admin.uillinois.edu/ssa/servlet/SelfServiceLogin?appName=edu.uillinois.aits.SelfServiceLogin&dad=BANPROD1[/url]”>https://eas.admin.uillinois.edu/eas/servlet/EasLogin?redirect=https://webprod.admin.uillinois.edu/ssa/servlet/SelfServiceLogin?appName=edu.uillinois.aits.SelfServiceLogin&dad=BANPROD1&lt;/a&gt; to check your financial aid status.</p>

<p>I know this is a more complicated process, but U of I didn’t create the system with the intention of us using it yet, but I found a way. :)</p>

<p>go to Find People on the uiuc homepage and type in your name</p>

<p>just got my FA aid information in the mail (I’m instate). I heard that a friend of a friend also got her’s before Easter (so I assume Saturday). So it should be in the mail for everyone else.</p>

<p>I was very dissapointed with my FA package. All loans. All of it. Good luck to the rest of you though, but for me, UIUC is not really an option.</p>

<p>keep an eye on those mailboxes.</p>

13

<p>My son’s FA package arrived Friday or Saturday and we are OOS. I didn’t expect much in terms of aid - and there wasn’t much. The bulk was a PLUS loan.</p>

14

<p>^ horrible horrible finaid package for me - bye bye UIUC</p>

15

<p>ditto on the all loans…it is a sad thing when I can go to ND or Vanderbilt for substantially cheaper than my home in-state university</p>

16

<p>bye UIUC…poor oos business kid=me…no way i’m getting a $42400 Loan for 4 yrs…I’m going to Kelley!!! Go IU!</p>

17

<p>Isn’t UIUC having a 10% tuition increase? Darn, what the hell is happening. If they keep increasing the tuition (and in-state tuition I heard is still pretty bad) good students will look elsewhere.</p>

18

<p>Last year my brother applied for FA quite late, June I think. We were surprised at how generous they were. We figured given the poor timing, he’d get close to nothing or just loans. Reading this makes me a little nervous to see how his aid goes this year. Then again, maybe it doesn’t change much for returning students, I have no idea. :p</p>

19

<p>All loans for me too. It’s now more expensive than U-Miami, one of the most expensive colleges out there, with a total cost of attendance at $48,000. It’s cheaper because of SCHOLARSHIPS.</p>

<p>SCHOLARSHIPS=What I should have gotten as a James Scholar if UIUC wanted me as a student.</p>

<p>oh well.</p>

<p>financial aid package = CRAP. with my efc of $194. i could come up with the fin aid offered right out of my bank account!!! ***!!!</p>
