Rutgers New Brunswick Financial Aid Awards: Class of 2023

I’ve heard that the majority of people who submitted their FAFSA should be receiving an email with the financial aid award letter link either today, or early next week. Let’s hope for $$$ :slight_smile:

Any updates?

Will this include merit? Are schools open Monday or we wait for Tuesday now.

@HSinLI RU is closed on Monday for the Federal Holiday so I’m assuming we wait until Tuesday now.

Financial Aid is out!

@kat2023, where do you check for finaid and scholarships?

Got 3500. Total cost is still about 25k/year.

@dragon8301 , What is that 3500, (Merit scholarship or Grant or loan ?) also seems you are INstate. Right ?

Merit, instate.

Can anyone still not login to the portal??? instate

i’m out of state, got $5k still have to pay like $46k, but that’s to be expected. rutgers just isn’t the place for me haha

@lightshock23 https://financialaid.rutgers.edu/award

Just looking at the direct costs, I’ll have to end up paying around $15,000/yr. I guess that isn’t too bad right?

Has any international student received merit aid yet?

“You are required to submit additional documentation to complete your application for financial aid. If you recently submitted documents, please allow 7 business days for processing. You will receive an email notification when your Award Letter is ready.” Yet I have no idea what documents (did not receive any email about it, already submitted FAFSA back in November)

Best financial aid package I’ve gotten yet! My EFC is $3500 and I’ll be paying 9k a year, good to know I can at least afford one place. (No merit aid just financial aid, instate). RU Rah Rah???

Our financial aid/merit aid for OSS…big fat zero! Have to pay full tuition…ouch! We are not committed yet. Waiting to hear back about financial aid from other colleges.

My son received $10,000 in merit aid (John Dickson Carr scholarship), which would help with OOS tuition, but he will end up going elsewhere.

@eh1234 my son received the same scholarship. OOS for Mason Gross.

Does anyone know if separate award statements are issued if you were accepted to more than one school? The online letter we received that had information was for SAS. However when we change school to Engineering, the message states information is not available at this time. I plan to call on Tuesday and my son was admitted yesterday to SOE.
