<p>hello!
well today I was very pleased to recieve an early acceptance letter from Grinnell College in Iowa. They also offered me an $8/year merit scholarship. Now, I was wondering if that was all the financial aid I was going to get or if there would be more loans/study-work/grants included in my official admissions package.
Thank you for your time!</p>
<p>Elodie, Last year my son would get letters with merit scholarships mentioned in the intial acceptance letter. Later he received his financial aid package of work study, grants and loans or whatever. Congratulations by the way! : )</p>
<p>Congrates. So is it </p>
<p>Total Aid = Merit Aid or Fin Aid + grants + loan + Work study</p>
<p>Parent + Child = Parent contribution + Child Contribution</p>
<p>ouu yey! thts great to know!</p>
