Just got my financial aid package back. Depressed and disappointed. Need help understanding if true.

@billcsho it was shown in the award summary
@brantly the award I received is 10k per year. My provost award before was $16,776 and it went down to $6,776 and my loans/WS reappeared

@Daisy50 Thanks. Exactly the way it’s always been. So, if I had to guess what happened here, a lower level person working in the FA office removed the loans and WS, which is typically what goes away when an outside award comes in. Then someone more knowledgeable reviewed it and said, “Aha, this is the Provost’s award, which is an exception to the rule,” and corrected it.

In any event, congratulations on your acceptance and on your FA. What state are you from?

Award summary is even less official that the award notice. It often has the on fly changes.
