No Financial Aid Letter!

<p>Hey guys, so I've been freaking out about not having received a financial aid letter yet... I got the full MAP grant and have a EFC of 0 on the FAFSA. What are the odds of me getting good financial aid? I think I'll be getting the full Pell Grant, too. I've heard about the Illinois Promise- does anyone know if I'm guaranteed that package so long as I meet the requirements? I haven't received any requests for verification forms to be filled out; I don't know what that means... Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Does anyone know when I might receive the letter by? Every time I call them (4 times), they say something like 4 days to a week. It's been more than a month since I first called them and it's about a week between each call.</p>

<p>I never received an actual letter but I was able to access my information through the UIUC website. Have you taken a look at: [University</a> of Illinois Financial Aid: Check Your Status](<a href=“http://www.osfa.illinois.edu/resources/status/index.html]University”>http://www.osfa.illinois.edu/resources/status/index.html)
There is a button at the bottom that says “Access your Financial Aid”. If you are a first time user you have to go to a setup that it links you to.</p>

<p>I actually have been checking that site- nearly every 4 hours… -_- i still haven’t received anything yet… Other than the MAP grant, that is</p>

<p>Look on your student aid report from FAFSA. At the top, if it says you have been selected for verification, then you need to download UIUCs student verification form. I had to do the same because only they gave as prez scholarship&&nothing else. im in state so i know i should have gotten something else. try that</p>
