<p>I was just curious as to what everyone has been offered through FAFSA for Cal Poly. Here’s mine:</p>
<p>I was offered a federal pell grant: $5,550
was offered a Federal SEOG pell grant: $900
was offered state university pell grant: $5,970</p>
<p>Was also offered a federal stafford sunsidized direct LOAN: $5,500
and also a federal stafford unisubsidized direct LOAN: $6,938.</p>
<p>Total of $24,858 for the 2012-2013 academic year.</p>
<p>Is this good/bad? A lot of money? A little? I am considered low-income and my EFC was 0. Should I take up the school’s offer on the loans? Is it worth doing or is it a rip off? Also, scholarships you have to look for yourself, right??</p>
<p>Konaluv, I received the same amount u did too… And I don’t know if is a lot or not and I’m debating to take the loans or not… I got in
For animal science and I’m frm the LA area and u?</p>
<p>I feel Cal Poly the school hasn’t released any of their aid out yet, just federal and state. Same package as you guys.</p>
<p>Sent from my LG-P505 using CC</p>
<p>I got:
ederal pell grant: $5,550
was offered a Federal SEOG pell grant: $900
was offered state university pell grant: $5,970
work study $2800
Stafford subsidized loan $3500
and some other unsubsidized loans which I will not take out as the interest starts now. I don’t want loans that are accruing interest now.</p>
<p>My packages from UCSB and UCSD were better than SLO’s package. I think the problem is that SLO is charging (~$9000) in tuition and fees and the state only pays $5970 for a Cal State. so right off the bat you are down over $3000.</p>
<p>Fanatic, I’m hoping you are correct, but if you add up the aid packages, they amount to full tuition, R&B. Nothing but loans in my son’s aid.</p>
<p>Beatrice,</p>
<p>Congrats on getting in as an Animal Science major! I am an Animal Science major as well from Orange County (I live in the city of La Habra). Ya I’m still debating whether or not I should take out loans, too. It looks like I’m probably going to have to. Someone told me to start looking into scholarships, apparently you can get a lot of money from those. Are you a freshman or a transfer? Are you going to live on or off campus?</p>
<p>@fanatic 16… u till cal poly is still going to realese more money for us?</p>
<p>@konaluv, thank u… congrats to u too…im going to be a tranfer and U?yes im planning ing getting a dorm… omgg la habra really thats close to me…yes i heard that cal poly automatically qualifys u for scholarships,but i think if im not mistaken is for the spring quarter… yea im going to look for scholarships too… im going to open house friday april 13th how about u?</p>
<p>I don’t think there is more money coming from Cal Poly unless you get a scholarship.</p>
<p>Is Cal Grant separate or included in this package?
If I update my Cal Grant account to say I’m going to Cal Poly, will they deduct the CG amount from the State University Grant amount?</p>
<p>I got $13,221 in grants plus an opportunity for work study ($2,400). This may change a bit though since I recently updated my family size from 6 people to 5 people.</p>
<p>The cal grant amount for SLO is the 5,970 already shown as a state university pell grant so if they change the name to Cal Grant the other will go away. You will not get both.</p>
<p>KonaLuv, did you go to lhhs or sohs? </p>
<p>I got the same amount. Funny how its costing me more to go to a cal state than it is for a Uc (San Diego)</p>
<p>I got $25k in loans! :D</p>
