Official Financial Aid Award Letter

<p>Did anyone get it? It's getting me a little nervous here.</p>

<p>Checked the "Key Dates" section on the UVa Financial Aid Office website, apparently I need to claim my loans by May 1st (today). Can't do this without my official award letter, and it has me quite a bit anxious right now. </p>

<p>I'm going to call them in the morning, but if anyone knows what's going on, please fill me in here, as soon as possible.</p>

<p>No idea what's wrong with them. I haven't even gotten a preliminary letter yet. Next year is going to be torture ><</p>

<p>Yeah I haven't either. But I asked them if they already sent it out, and they told me it was printed April 10 (don't know when it'll come..it's May 2) and told me what my aid award consisted of. </p>

<p>This girl from SFS and I have been emailing back and forth for weeks now and she helped clear up some questions I had. I don't think you need to claim your loans by May 1. She says you don't have to accept or deny yet your preliminary award letter since it only tells you how much aid they're giving you. Then when the official award letter comes (June-August I think), then that's the time you will be able accept or alter your award.</p>
