We received the same as well. Cost will around 50K per yearâŠ
Received $23.3 merit/need aid leaving it at about $52K per year. This is the highest priced school D21 has been accepted to so far (by far) and is too high for us.
We got our package today and declined immediately. We have gotten tremendous offers from other schools. Not worth 30K out of pocket for us.

Iâm an American citizen, so yes?
Just got the package today - same for me. Around 40K, which we canât afford
We will most likely decline but I did email admissions and financial aid this morning to see about any additional funds. Our son would like to keep it in the running but his package doesnât even cover room and board. I assume it will not be an option for him but going to see what happens. He has generous offers from other excellent schools. Fordham is by far the most expensive and I canât justify it for undergrad.

If you talk to the financial aid office they can sometimes bring the cost down a smidge to make their school more affordable.
Can you tell me his stats, what he wants to study, and what your EFC is? I just want to compare.
A smidge is what I assume might happen and we need a wee bit more than a smidge 
we will see how it all shakes out.
I am sure everyone already knew it, but just to post the sticker price for RH campus in the financial document:
Tuition and Fees. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$56,161

Total Estimated Costs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$79,276
Which means you got 40K scholarship/grant? (since the total price is around 80k. 80k-40k scholarship = 40k out of pocket)
I think 40K scholarship is more than a lot of offers I see from Fordham.

34K scholarship/grant, 41K out of pocket. I suppose the 4K not accounted for is the âindirect costsâ
Does the 34K include any need based aid? Can you share your childâs stats?
Loyola Scholarship: 12.5K
Federal: 7K
Need-based aid: 14K
Is this what is meant by stats? - GPA 3.98 W, SAT 1420, all IB Courses.
Is the 7k Federal a loan?
Yes, thanks.
