Financial Aid

<p>Is there a site that I can go to in order to find out how much financial aid I was awarded, I lost my letter and it seems that the one that the school provided me with is off by about $800.00</p>

<p>You school's FA site might have a place for you to log in with your password to see your award.</p>

<p>Just to warn you ... most schools will state that your financial aid award can change. It is possible that your award changed between the initial letter you remember & your final award. This can happen because of information submitted in your financial aid application. The best thing to do if you disagree with the amount of aid is ... call your school's financial aid office & ask. They will be able to tell you exactly what happened.</p>

<p>As kelsmom said the initial offer can change if circumstances change - such as getting a scholarship, updating your tax information etc. Also some aid has to be officially accepted or you lose it. For instance my daughter's aid included a Perkins loan that she had to accept by a certain date or lose it. Did you accept the aid offered?</p>

<p>It can also change due to an error- for example the my D received a merit award from her campus, they then reduced her university grant; but all the paperwork had said it would reduce her loans. I only noticed this as I had printed out both the initial and the final fin aid reports.</p>

<p>When I pointed this out and asked why it was different than I had been led to believe, they said it was an error and fixed it. If you do think you have an error, just ask</p>
