Financial Aid!

<p>So I just got my financial aid, and it's amazing!!! Way better than anywhere else, including NYU (their's is horrible for everyone, apparently) and Tulane (where I got a 26k/year scholarship!)</p>

<p>For USC, I'll only have to have loans of about 10k/year!!! My expected family contribution is 0, and my income bracket is 25k.</p>

<p>Considering USC costs about 54k per year, I think 10 in loans is really good. This made my decision for me... I'm almost definitely going to USC!!!</p>

<p>Did anyone else get their financial aid today?</p>

<p>Congrats, Sabrina. We are sorry to lose you at Tulane, but USC is fantastic and you are right, that is a great FA package. Have a wonderful and successful 4 years, and stay well.</p>

<p>Thanks!
Tulane would have been great, too. I was having such a hard time deciding… but the FA is just too good at USC.
congrats to everyone going to USC and Tulane :-)</p>

<p>Congrats! That IS a great package!</p>

<p>Congrats SabrinaFairChild!
I was wondering: did you submit everything on time? and is it possible for you to tell how much scholarship/university grants you received?</p>

<p>nilufer, as I am sure you are aware, the amount of scholarship/grant money sabrina was awarded is in no way indicitive of the amount you might get, because they used sabrina’s CSS/Profile to calculate hers, and they will use *your CSS/Profile *to calculate yours.</p>

<p>I am sure it is very stressful to have to wait for your package - I hope it is enough when it finally is available. Good luck.</p>

<p>my university grant is 27k/year
university scholarship of 8k/year
pell grant 6k/year
federal seog 2k/year
work study 2500
federal loans 5500
other loans 4500/year</p>

<p>nilufer: I got everything in on time, then USC asked me for two more documents since my parents are divorced. I got my aid friday, april 23</p>

<p>as I said, expected family contribution was 0 and income is 25k… I only have one parent supporting me</p>

<p>I hope you get good enough aid!</p>
