Florida State University 2017-2018 Fall Transfer Student

Hello!
I was accepted into the Marketing program at FSU for this fall 2017. My main problem is that orientation is only on end of June and July and I wanted to know how much financial aid they would award me and compare it to others schools. However, whenever I talk to someone they say that I need to do orientation and sign up for classes and then they would let me know. I was just wondering if anyone had any types out there of what to do in this situation. I was born in Brazil so me and my family do not know that much of how the process works but I would not want to miss an opportunity at a school that would help me more financially just because of this rule that you have to be signed up for classes before you can find out. Any insight would help me.
Thank you

That is not the rule. I think there is some misunderstanding.

However, it is a public school and you aren’t eligible for any federal or state aid. Are there any types of aid listed on the FSU website that you are eligible for?

I have a EFC of 0 so I get pell grant and I could get federal and state grant but it depends on funding
