Rutgers Financial Aid

Website says they’ve started and that you’d get an email when it’s ready. I’m able to log in but the dropdowns aren’t populated yet with the school(s) so I assume it hasn’t gotten to me yet.

@YoungOne4
From Jennifer Hollis on Go Rutgers:
“from what I heard this morning most likely this afternoon or early evening for FAFSA filers who filed by December 1 and tomorrow for non-FAFSA filers who are being offered a scholarship. FAFSA filers who filed after December 1 would be on a rolling basis”

About an hour ago, I received confirmation from her directly on GoRutgers that FA notifications would proceed for tonight.

@schadret What is the login website? Link please.

Thanks, @Schradret and @MrElonMusk.

Go here https://financialaid.rutgers.edu/information-for-future-rutgers-students/incoming-student-portal/ then “View your Award Letter” in upper right (or down in middle, they go to same place)

More indications that FA will be released tonight: On https://financialaid.rutgers.edu/information-for-future-rutgers-students/incoming-student-portal/ the “View Award Letter” button was labelled as “unavailable” just a few hours ago.

Thanks @Schadret - I logged in, but all I got was 2017-2018 financial aid award which 1) makes no sense and 2) was empty.

The login screen says “Status as of Thursday, February 8, 2018”

Thanks @Schradet. It’s cool we can now get into the next screen. Mine currently only shows data as of Thursday, February 8, with 2017/2018, and “select a school.”

Mine keeps saying, there seems to be a problem with incorrect credentials. Anyone else?

@pbmcdoug Are you using the right RUID, Birthday (with slashes), and social eecurity number?

Yes! I do not think I filed FAFSA with Rutgers, so that is probably it.

Is it still possible to get merit aid without filing FAFSA?

@pbmcdoug It’s possible. You should file your FAFSA asap.

I filed it with 9 others schools I have applied to. RU was a late application, so I must have forgotten. I don’t think I will end up there unless there is a random scholarship haha

The RU Financial Aid Office just posted an update a few minutes ago: “We have started sending 2018-2019 Award Letter notifications. When your Award Letter is ready to view online, you will receive an email.”

Keep an eye on your inboxes everybody!

@lazerbeams99 Yes, this is shown at https://financialaid.rutgers.edu/information-for-future-rutgers-students/incoming-student-portal/

Mine still says 2017-2018 and isn’t showing any schools

Me too. When I press “select a school” no schools show up. However, I haven’t received the email that they said they were going to send yet, so.

DItto. No email yet, and mine still says 2017/2018, etc.

I don’t get what is wrong with mine. I entered my RUID, date of birth, and SSN but it says my credentials are wrong. I have verified that they are correct.
