money

<p>what does it take to get at least $20,000 from fordham?</p>

<p>connections!</p>

<p>im talking bout stats and stuff...</p>

<p>??????????</p>

<p>Not sure what stats you need, but my daughter was accepted into the honors program and only got $7500.</p>

<p>I have a 2310 / 3.93 GPA and got that kind of money...</p>

<p>other schools had 0 respect for me, unfortunately</p>

<p>Is fordham usually generous with scholarships?</p>

<p>r yall tellin me dat fordham is just like nyu wen it comes to money?</p>

<p>My daughter actually got a better scholarship from NYU. We don't get any need based aid. I believe Fordham starts their Dean's scholarship at 7500 for merit and it can go up from there due to need.</p>

<p>Fordham's aid was a JOKE</p>

<p>Well, I thought Fordham's aid package was actually really great. It amounted to $45,425, which I think acutally covered more than Fordham's resident tuition, which is around $42,000. I had a 3.5 UW GPA, 2040 SAT. My EFC was 0 though, so I think they're more generous with need-based aid than merit. I only got a $7,000 Lafarge Fellows Scholarship. They gave me about $10,000 in loans and the rest were grants.</p>

<p>Their aid was the worst I got. A small grant and a ton of loans.</p>
