Trying to get a feel for how an appeal might be received by FU. Son was accepted EA to Gabelli School of Business and received some merit scholarship - we would like to make Fordham work for him/us. Thank you!
Bump
I appealed and they added $3000 onto my dean’s scholarship
@go1617 how long did they take to reply to your appeal? the person I talked to from fin aid said it’d take 4-6 weeks
@arizona726 We appealed on 4/8 and received new award notice on 4/16. They added $6500 to E. Gerald Corrigan Scholarship.
@collegeadmiss Would you mind telling us your total scholarship?
@Loki71 $35,000
Congratulations @collegeadmiss right in time for the deadline!
@clip2023 yes, I’m glad it came in time!
my daughter got an added $5,000 to her award
I wish I had tried. I had read that it wouldn’t be likely so we had him accept last week. He received a nice scholarship but it’s still a hefty price tag.
I said it was too expensive and that I was going to go to another Jesuit university that gave me more money and fordham gave me some extra money.
We got an extra $2000 last night at 7:30pm. I think she is leaving a full tuition scholarship plus $2000 on the table in favor of UConn. My husband and I are disappointed but she is nervous about the Bronx. We visited for the last time on Saturday and walked around outside the gates. A security guard in One Fordham Plaza told her the area was unsafe and she should buy pepper spray. My husband was furious with the security guard. She’s definitely isn’t working for the chamber of commerce. Lots of tears last night.?
