I just called and they said tomorrow night.
@TS0104 I applied to Fordham for a lot of the same reasons you did. I really like the Jesuit educational philosophy, and being able to be in NYC provides bountiful opportunities. Personally I picked the Lincoln Center campus because I feel like being inside Manhattan is very important. I applied for Film Production but I plan to add on Computer Science as a double major. Given that Manhattan is a really big hub both for Tech and Film, second only to California, going to Fordham seems like the perfect option. I think the main drawback is the price, which is why I’m waiting so eagerly for financial aid. Even with the 15k/Year scholarship they offered me with my acceptance letter, that only brings the price down to about 60k a year. So now it’s really deciding whether the opportunities Fordham provides me career wise is worth the significantly higher price compared to my state school, which I already have 75% off, or if a better school offers me acceptance.
@liz880 thank you for letting us know!! Did they by any chance say if they will let us know in an email?
From what the admissions officer said, I am pretty sure we are going to get an email saying our financial aid was updated on the portal.
@liz880 ok thanks so much!!
What is the website for the applicant portal?
@Wishforcalpoly fass.fordham.edu (that’s the Financial Aid portal)
Just checked the portal - merit/financial aid awards are posted.
S got a $17,000 grant (which will need to be renegotiated every year). Our EFC is $20,000. Looks like they missed our need by about $33,000.
Moving on.
i tried to log in to see my merit awards/financial aid but it says there’s a system error
Daughter received the Dean’s Scholarship with a merit award of $31,500 per year.
I haven’t recieved any FA info/merit info on mine - it says I have 0 messages… is it on the fass.fordham website??
has anyone else not gotten an email??
Email just received
@charlottemd - if you login through the fass.fordham website there should be a new section called “Your Award Information” above the Documents section.
My daughter did receive an email so they may be updating in batches.
