Financial Aid

<p>When do the letters go out with our financial package?</p>

<p>I think you can find out online on PAWS in early July iirc.</p>

<p>Have people started receiving their offers? I got a letter asking for more financial aid documents before they make me an offer.</p>

<p>I called and they said 3/21 thereabouts e-mail will be sent out saying check PAWS TCNJ site</p>

<p>ooo okay thanks for the info</p>

<p>my aid offer is up</p>

<p>Yup, mine too.</p>

<p>I’m a little surprised that TCNJ will cost me a good 2,000 more than Rutgers even though they are basically the same price with tuition, fees, and room and board.</p>

<p>wow really how much is rutgers for instate applicants? And also are the aid offers online final or estimated???</p>

<p>offers are estimated final comes out in like july, rutgers with all costs (tuition, room and board, fees) comes out to $22,262, but that was for 2009-10 year so it would be a little higher for next year</p>

<p>Is there anyway I can get more money? Because I was offered more financial aid from Rutgers (Perkins Loan and Work Study) which doesn’t make much sense to me as they are similar when it comes to total cost.</p>

<p>Rutgers is a large state university and has more funds so it makes sense that it’s giving you more scholarship money. I got more than twice as much scholarship from Rutgers compared to TCNJ.</p>

<p>I asked this in another thread, but I thought I might as well ask here too.</p>

<p>1) How do I determine how much I will have to pay per year? (What is tuition?)
2) (I’ll probably call the office about this on Monday but) I was missing a few documents. Will the estimate be recalculated before the official report is released?</p>

<p>1) tuition is 12988/21674 in/out of state
2) if there is a substantial difference between the numbers they have and they new ones you send, then it may be.</p>

<p>Is there anyone here getting a Tuition Aid Grant (TAG)? If so, on your FAFSA where you put in the schools you are going to, did you list TCNJ first?</p>

<p>Comet,</p>

<p>This is what happened to me basically. I got a letter from hessa, but since I didn’t put TCNJ as my first choice (I put Rutgers), my hessa stated Rutgers, and I have to change it to TCNJ and make copies of my fiancial aid documents and send them back to hessa.</p>

<p>okay thanks. when did you get your letter? and do you know if they looked at your GPA for it or is it not merit based?</p>

<p>I got that last weekend. And I don’t think it’s academic-based, it comes included with the FAFSA.</p>

<p>hmm. i never got a letter. and i didn’t know that the order i put my schools in mattered, so i put seton hall in first which was like my second to last choice. and if you don’t mind my asking, what was your EFC from your FAFSA?</p>

<p>nah, I don’t mind lol anyways, My EFC was 0.</p>
