@Loki71 I got the Fordham Loyola Scholarship. As you can see, I had a bit of trouble in freshman year but I spoke about that in my essay as I had extenuating circumstances, which I think helped me in the application process; this meant I couldnât qualify for a merit scholarship because my GPA wasnât a solid A. They still gave me 26k total in aid!!
Well done!
Hi Iâm a little late to this post!
I was accepted Early Action to Fordham but I was just notified this weekend that I was awarded the Cunniffe Presidential Scholarship!
Accepted Gabelli School of Business at Rose Hill

AP Scores: 4 on Calc AB, 4 on US, 4 on Lang

D19 accepted to LC for IR, but she had previously attempted to withdraw the application so has declined the place - hopefully opening a spot for a waitlisted applicant.
@writeon a parent in another thread mentioned her child had been awarded a presidential scholarship- so some have been awarded at least.
@jimmy7879 Congratulations on the Cunniffe Presidential Scholarship! Did you get a letter in the mail or find out by email?
I was just wondering if anyone knew if the Net Direct Charges includes the financial aid on the myfordham.edu?

@TimeTraveler28 It was over email that they notified me there was an update to my scholarship and then I found out on my portal. A letter in the mail came in a day or two later with more details.

True cost is $79K. With standard inflation, we are talking about $84K/year average for four years. For those normal middle-class humans, Fordham is dead in water without full tuition or the Presidential. Frustrated the see the child get tortured with an acceptance but only token aid.
@InlandNW would you mind sharing how you came up with $79K total. Iâve been trying to do a apples to apples comparison for all of the schools my daughter is still considering and I only came up with $77K. I included $54,428 tuition, $18,508 room & board, $1,039 books and supplies, $3,009 âother educational expensesâ (Fordham suggested this amountâŠI have no idea what itâs comprised of. Iâm really concerned about any hidden expenses, especially of living in NYC. Thanks for your help!!

@MominPA2017 Fordhamâs site is $75,655. Reviews on LC food are universally terrible. This means eating out. LC is in midtown Manhattan, not an area filled with eateries. this means more $ or more trips to SOHO/Village, etc and more money spent. Then it is Manhattan. the whole point of Fordham LC is to embrace Manhattanâan expensive place. then there are road trips. Also, I say that the personal expenses estimate was not too different than estimates at our local university. LOL. I lived in Manhattan. Its fun and expensive. Say instead your child is at Williams, way out in Western Mass. Personal expenditures are relatively minimal. Finally, travel expenses are more expensiveâthough perhaps less for you in PA. I think $79K is being pretty fair, if not conservative.
Hey! I didnt check my portal until today, I was waitlisted.
Anyone know how many usually get admitted from the waitlist?
