MSU's fin aid: is it flowing?

<p>Are any of you guys applying for, or are on, financial aid at Michigan State? If so what kind? Did you have trouble getting it? Is it mainly grants or is there a lot of loans and work-study in your portfolio? Are you struggling, financially, to stay at MSU – I know it’s not a cheap school, plus, because it is a state school, financial aid doesn’t flow as easily or as widely as a comparable major private or LAC, esp to out-of-state kids… Also, are you shooting for, or are on, any of the numerous academic/merit/need-blind scholarships?</p>

<p>... just curious about your experiences.</p>
