<p>Does anyone know the average amount of aid given to a family that makes ~$55,000 a year? Is $22,000 about right, meaning the family has to pay around $27,000 a year? Thanks.</p>
<p>That package seem to be rather low considering Penn's new financial aid initiative. I would call the financial aid office requesting for additional funds. Unless your family has assets unbeknowst to us which can affect your package.</p>
<p>Yeah, unless you have hidden funds (huge savings) that does seem low.</p>
<p>they want me to pay 33500 a year...I'm not that happy with the package, but if thats what I've got to pay to go to penn, then so be it...</p>
