Financial Aid

<p>Where can I access my financial aid award summary?</p>

<p>Also, does Bing give scholarships to freshmen?</p>

<p>Binghamton, typically, does not give merit scholarships to freshmen.</p>

<p>online April 1</p>

<p>You can access your financial aid award offer via [BU</a> Brain](<a href=“http://bubrain.binghamton.edu%5DBU”>http://bubrain.binghamton.edu) beginning on April 1. Binghamton will not send a paper notification of aid. They typically do not award merit-based scholarships to freshman.</p>

<p>Anyone know when it goes up? :stuck_out_tongue: I’m quite anxious.</p>

<p>I can say with absolute certainty that the Financial Aid Services office is not open at 12:30AM. ;)</p>

<p>I’m assuming during business hours, April 1 (today).</p>

<p>Damn and I stayed up for this haha :stuck_out_tongue: Anyway, hope its up before I leave to visit Baruch for macaulay tomorrow. Its a pretty big determining factor.</p>

<p>well…its April 1st and i went on the BIU thing and they dont have the 2010-2011 academic year listed…so i guess i just have to wait for the letter to come in the mail.</p>

<p>Slackers :frowning: lol</p>

<p>Nothing yet.</p>

<p>am i the only 1 who haven’t got a decision >.<</p>

<p>Are the financial aid offers beginning April 1st and lasting a few days? I got on today and it’s saying: “status of your academic progress is Not Yet Evaluated as of Fall 2010”.</p>

<p>^ i hope so…because so far there is nothing on the site…but April 1st is the deadline for Binghamton to notify us about our financial aid. I would like to think that they are just taking a while to upload it to the site…or maybe when i get home it will be in the mail :confused: and its April Fools Day. NOT cool.</p>

<p>i called and they said it should be out at 2</p>

<p>i checked its up there now :)</p>

<p>Wow, I got screwed over on FA. I have to pay the same tuition as it would cost for me to attend BU, a private school… (And my efc is 0…)</p>

<p>Can someone else post their FA package so I may compare?</p>

<p>Academic Competitive Grant $750.00
Federal SEOG $500.00
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan $3,500.00
Fedearl Direct Unsub Loan $2,000.00
Federal Work Study $1,260.00
Federal Pell Grant $5,550.00
Federal Perkins Loan $1,500.00
NYS TAP Grant $4,995.00
Total $20,055.00</p>

<p>All i got was Stafford loans. I was hoping for at least work study, but didn’t get it.</p>

<p>is there a way that bing can match a current schools offer?
is there any way to appeal?</p>
