<p>You guys think this is terrible, avg., or good?</p>
<p>You have over $9000 in loans. That is well above the average for Case. I gind it odd that you got a FSEOG but no pell grant. Perhpa you could call finacial aid and petition for a smaller amount of loans.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what I've done wrong, but everyone seems to be qualifying for so much more aid than me. I finally got my financial aid award to show up online, but I've received only the following:</p>
<p>Federal Stafford Loan - Unsubsidized
$2,625
Ohio Student Choice Grant (OSCG)
$900
Trustees Scholarship
$25,700</p>
<p>My family's income isn't much higher than the median household income, so why is it that I'm not awarded much else? I just can't understand how this is working out to be way less than what I expected. I figured that the Trustee's Scholarship was a <em>merit</em> scholarship and would go toward what my family had to pay, not part of my financial aid package... If we didn't get that award, would we get supplemental aid in another flavor? If that is the case, then how is it awarding our merits?</p>
<p>Gah, can you tell I'm a bit miffed? If anyone can point me to a helpful resource to shed some light on this, I'd be most appreciative.</p>
<p>well, I think that if you didn't get the scholarship you might have gotteb about the same aid but a whole bunch more of it would have been loans, which basically suck</p>
<p>When do they tell you your complete financial aid award?</p>
<p>I got admitted less than 2 weeks ago w/ provost scholarsahip when should i get the other info?? aka, grants, fed loans, case loans, etc...?</p>
<p>you have to go online and fill out their fin aid form (use your case network ID to sign in)</p>
<p>and they tell you right away?</p>
<p>it should tell u on page 2. (provisional)</p>
<p>yea ok got it thx!</p>
<p>Fed stafford loan 2,625
Special Provost Scholarship 18,600</p>
<p>total: $21,225</p>
<p>so wait is 9k in loans bad?</p>
<p>$9,000 in loans means you're paying room and board. It's not a free ride, but full tuition at a school like case is nothing to sneeze at, either. :)</p>
<p>I'm paying 9000 in loans as well. Hoping to reduce that through some scholarships/working basically full-time this summer. Here's mine:</p>
<p>case grant-in-aid: 7,270
custom signature loan: 4,052
federal work study: 2,925
federal pell grant: 400
federal perkins loan: 2,400
federal stafford- 2,625
FSEOG- 1000
ohio student's choice grant- 900
provost's special scholarship: 18, 600
total aid: 40, 172.00
cost of attendance: 44, 008.00</p>
<p>Could've been worse.</p>
<p>Basically it comes down to Miami University Honors Program and Case. We'll see.</p>
<p>i got 9k in loans too, plus 5k in EFC. to me, that's a big ouch. i guess i'll have to talk about that on my trip up to case</p>
<p>Yeah 9000 loans + 4000 out of pocket. Loans worry me most. I think I would have preferred less loans and more out of pocket. I'm visiting on April 1st.</p>
