Did anybody else get their aid in the mail today?
I didn’t. Did u?
Yes! I received an extremely generous financial aid package yesterday. I was awarded $27,400 a year. My parents were worried, because while they do pull in a decent income (150k), I have a large family (6 people, 4 kids) and another sibling in school. Definitely will be looking more into loyola with this package.
D2 was accepted at Loyola, Bentley, and BC (waiting on 2 more). She’s interested in Business so Bentley and BC seem to make the most sense because they’re higher ranked, but we’re still seriously considering Loyola. Loyola has much better housing and Res Life programs than BC and we like the idea of a broad Jesuit education more than Bentley’s comparatively strictly business focus. D1 graduated from Loyola and it was an amazing 4 years.
@nj1818 Congratulations on your award! Did you receive a merit scholarship as well?
When i was accepted to loyola, i received a clayver scholarship. When i got the financial aid letter, there was something that was called “clayver scholarship” included with financial aid… I thought it counted as a merit scholarship, not financial aid? Is this separate/ another scholarship?
Clayver is a merit scholarship. It is included with your financial aid package only to show you how much you will have to pay.
