<p>My best friend just got into U of R, and he told me his financial aid package was only $6,000. He can't afford to go there unless he gets more money than that, but he said he's still waiting for more. I'm not sure how the U of R financial aid stuff works, but could someone please enlighten me on his chances for getting more? And if he got more, would it be in the form of student loans? His dad was a corporate lawyer but he's been retired and on disability for 3 years, his mom is a teacher in a public high school. Thanks.</p>
<p>well everyone sends in their taxes from this year, and if the income is lower than last year the financial need goes up (usually in some sore of pell grant), and yes loans will go up to if hes not paying a dime out of pocket.</p>
<p>I've heard about students who needed to transfer from or drop out of Richmond because they couldn't afford it, but after talking to the FA office, they were able to help them by giving them more money, and they were able to stay at Richmond...</p>
