Hi,
I was accepted as an ED2 applicant today, but my financial aid package is a tad spotty. I submitted the FA documents past the deadline (FAFSA and CSS mid-January, Tax Returns and LU FA Application end-of-January). I may have to accept/deny my admissions decision without knowing what my financial aid package would be. Does anyone know my odds of getting any need-based aid, even past the deadline?
Thank you in advance.
Have you seen your financial aid package already? How do you know that its spotty?
I have not. When I said spotty I meant that I’m not sure what my actual package could be (if I even receive one for submitting my documents late).
I think you worry too much, a few weeks late does not make a difference, especially they haven’t looked at regular admission yet. To the extreme, they may penalize you $500 in loan instead of a grant.
I submitted my documents almost a month late, staying in touch with the financial aid office in the process. I still received financial aid covering 85% of the expenses, so I wouldn’t be too worried. If you still haven’t seen your financial aid reward, you can do so by going to the Lehigh Banner login, as opposed to portal, and go to the financial aid menu
