Thanks! IKR!!! It’s not totally off the table but he is still leaning into music and he got into the Rose Hill campus which is a shuttle away from the Lincoln Center campus so it’s not totally off the books yet.

Back in the Fall when we my DD applied EA we were told by our school that Fordham was the rare school where you had to fill out the FAFSA/CSS to be considered for merit aid. It’s apparently a change in policy over the past few years because when my DS was admitted in 17 that was not the case. But we got lots of emails from Fordham urging us to complete it, even after the deadline.

Same for our D23. Makes it one strong attractive option for her.

Congrats! It’s a way better fit for my kid than Alabama! :ram:

I was accepted RD and my merit award was included in my acceptance letter. I think you need FAFSA for any type of aid, including merit.

I was accepted with a merit scholarship but I didn’t fill out the CSS or FAFSA. I’m not sure why because they said that in order to be eligible for aid you needed to do those so
 I really don’t know what happened

71

Merit has nothing to do with need. It’s based on your stats.

Has any one heard about Cunniffe?

73

yeah I know that, but I remember seeing some sort of official communication from them saying that i wanted to be considered for any sort of financial aid, need-based OR merit, i NEEDED to fill out and submit the FAFSA and CSS.

You will need to file fafsa before scholarship is actually dispersed. My daughter is at Fordham with full tuition scholarship and she is required to file every year.

75

gotcha, thanks!

76

Any news on the Cuniffe Scholarship yet?

My daughter was accepted ED with a scholarship. Is there a way to log in and see the financial aid information? We can’t figure it out. I am trying to find the “shopping sheet” like we have gotten from other schools.

Sorry, she was accepted EA (not ED)
