No FA as first year, any hope?

<p>Will Brown re-evaluate their financial aid award (in the good direction!) for subsequent years? We are paying about 50% of our take home pay, 35% of gross pay, for my D’s first year.</p>

<p>I think you can re-apply for financial aid next year, or appeal your current financial aid award now.</p>

<p>Thanks, ILB</p>

<p>If you aren't awarded financial aid your first year, there's a very slim chance you will be awarded aid in subsequent years unless your situation dramatically chagnes. Straight from the horse's mouth. Sorry.</p>

<p>Not even worth filling out the forms?</p>

<p>Has anyone ever heard of someone at Brown getting an increase in aid after 1st year?</p>

<p>I appealed this year and went from 0 to $13k total (grants+loans).</p>
