My Financial Aid Package

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>Totally what I expected. I might appeal for a bit more.</p>

<p>LSP Scholarship 7 500,00<br>
LSP Eckhouse Scholarship 6 000,00<br>
LSP Provost's Grant 4 000,00
Early Decision Pell Grant 5 550,00<br>
Early Decision Work Study 3 000,00<br>
Early Decision Perkins Loan 2 400,00<br>
Early Decision Stafford 3 500,00<br>
Early Decision Unsub 2 000,00<br>
Early Decision PLUS 21 590,00 </p>

<p>They gave me 23,000 and the rest (30,000) in loans.</p>

2

<p>I’m kind of confused by what this means. Can someone explain?</p>

<p>What’s the difference between UNSUB loans and an Early Decision PLUS loan? Regardless, both have to be paid back right?</p>

3

<p>I am not sure either, but I am sure they both have to be paid back. They probably differ in rules as to when to pay back or whatever. I’ll try to do some research</p>

4

<p>My total financial aid is 4,000… :(</p>

5

<p>9,380 for me :&lt;/p>

6

<p>Ya I just got loan offers no aid D:.</p>

7

<p>omg. i got lsp’ed and i still haven’t recieved my financial aid package!</p>

8

<p>@laulirich did you check Albert? There is now access to FA info for me</p>

9

<p>The PLUS Loan is for your parents, they have to apply for it, and be approved for it.
If they are interested in borrowing that much for one year at NYU.</p>

10

<p>They have to be approved for it?!</p>

11

<p>I just got loan offers and the 4,000 scholarship… why are there no grants? I certainly am MORE than eligible. I’ll also do work study, which is 3,000… but I still don’t understand why I didn’t get any grant offers!</p>

<p>Is something wrong, or is it just because we haven’t filed a FAFSA yet?
Should we contact the Financial Aid office and appeal? </p>

<p>I understand that applying ED doesn’t get you much money, and I know NYU isn’t the greatest with NYU, but I was certainly expecting more than $4,000! Especially since the poster, fhasleroth, got $23,000!</p>

<p>I’m very confused. Shouldn’t I have more scholarship and grant offerings? Even just a couple thousand more!?</p>

<p>I’ll be going regardless and we’ll somehow manage with the money… but $4,000!!! Seriously, is something wrong or should we appeal?</p>

12

<p>@viacollege there’s something wrong because I got the grants…make sure</p>

13

<p>yeah I thought it was strange! Do you think we should contact the financial aid office tomorrow?</p>

<p>p.s. Congrats everyone!</p>

14

<p>Yes, contact them and ask them why you didn’t receive any grants. If you say you are more than eligible (which means EFC of 0) than I would contact them.</p>

15

<p>I look on ALBERT everyday and they still have not given me my financial aid. It just says “Award access not available.” I will be calling tomorrow. I need a lot more than $4,000 to be able to go…</p>

16

<p>I got $23,000 !!! I’m really confused about the whole accept/decline thing for the financial aid and admissions, though.</p>

17

<p>laulirich, when were you able to see your financial aid? Because I’m getting really anxious about it since I still haven’t gotten access.</p>

18

<p>I checked it like an hour ago. and clicked the financial aid summary. I did turn the application in the first day it was available, so maybe that put me on top of the pile. Try calling tomorrow, I doubt they’re still open now.</p>

19

<p>Does anyone know if Financial Aid covers housing?</p>

20

<p>I got $4,000 and $3,000 work study. The rest is loans…no grants???</p>

<p>What does ED PLUS Loan mean? That’s what most of mine is.</p>
