Anyone here go to penn state and have tips or scholarships to go? I’m just waiting on fasfa but I can’t only rely on that. Thanks!!
Penn State and Pennsylvania in general is notorious for poor FA. Definitely consider one of their satellite campuses, not just main campus.
What do you mean “I’m waiting on fafsa”.
The fafsa is a financial aid form. It helps,schools determine your eligibility for federally finded need based aid. Fafsa doesn’t give money.
Why was your FAFSA EFC?
You are OOS for Penn State. If your EFC on the FAFSA was $0, you would get a $5800 Pell Grant and a $5500 Direct Loan…and very likely…that’s all. PEnn State is a costly school fo OOS students. The school does NOT guarantee to meet full need for all accepted students…and it doesn’t.
I’m sorry…but it’s very possible this college will be unaffordable unless your parents can pay a lot for you to attend,
I hope you have some affordable acceptances.
OP seems to be a NYS resident applying through the EOP program, so I don’t know if OOS schools will be affordable. She has a thread in the College Search & Selection forum that provides more information.
