How much do you think I will get?

<p>So I still haven't received my fin. aid package, I called and they said it will be another week since I didn't turn a form on time. I did not receive any scholarships along with my admission letter, however my EFC was zero, so if anyone's in the same situation...how much do you think I will be getting?!?</p>

<p>I couldn't begin to guess how much you will get. It seems everyones situation is so different. I will say we were pleasantly surprised. Fordham gave my S more than any school, even more than a particular University which is known to seek out students from my S school and usually gives them good scholarships. We were impressed that FU beat them in $$. We already preferred FU anyway. It didn't effect our decision. Only made us happier!
But some advice. It took forevvvvver to get our paperwork back from them and they wouldn't tell us what we were getting over the phone. Get logged into Oasis and keep an eye there. It will come up there before you will get it in the mail. Use SS# and last 4 of your zip as log in.
Good luck.</p>

<p>BaileyMom,
did your S receive any academic scholarships? Or was it all university grants?</p>

<p>They are academic.</p>

<p>Here is my D offer. Our EFC from FAFSA was $1,000. D did get an Academic Scholarship though. There is no way we could afford Fordham, luckily U or Rochester offered a much better package with an out of pocket cost of only $2,500.</p>
