Just found out that financial aid packages are final once they are sent out to students. If scholarships are not noted, I was told there is no scholarship:( I have to break this to my OOS DD who had Rutgers as her top school…
Unfortunately Rutgers is not known for merit, it’s similar to Penn State (which was crossed off all of my kids lists before the application process since they’d need merit OOS).

Wow! Congratulations. What were your stats? also which school did you get it from?

Thanks!!! 1570 SAT, can’t compare GPA because my school is weird. Got it from RBS (I was hoping to get it from SAS, but oh well, internal transfer maintains honors status :))

Good news: I got into the Honors College through SEBS.
Bad news: They completely botched my financial aid. They’re asking me to pay almost 50k a year even though I’m an in-state applicant. Has this happened to anyone else? I sent a question to the One Stop Student Services Center.
So from the post above, 1570 and not HC in SAS… it’s gotten crazy.
That does not look right at all. COA for in-state is about $30k/year. And since you got into the honors college you should also get merit $$, bringing that cost lower.
Please reach out to them. Hope it works out.
We didn’t get NB honors, got into Camden honors with $7K scholarship. We are considering TCNJ now.
Thanks! That’s the issue we have. She cannot attend Rutgers NB with no money. She has received nice scholarships from other schools…

That has to be a mistake. My daughter is OOS, she will commute because we are only 25 minutes away, but she got the honors program for SEBS and a Dean’s Scholarship. Call them, so they can fix that.
Anyone know where to find details about financial aid? My daughter got a very generous offer, but the portal only shows total award. I can’t find a breakdown which would indicate if a part of it is loans.
$5500 should be loans.
I guess that is something they always add?
Click through on ‘details’, and then click FINANCIAL at top right - try that?

Yes, every college freshman at every college who filled out fafsa gets offered the $5500 federal loan.
When I click on FINANCIAL at the top, it only shows cost of attendance and eligible loan ($5500). It doesn’t mention any scholarship, but the Total Award on the main dashboard shows more, I think essentially a full ride but no details.
Thanks! That did it. Presidential Scholarship.
