<p>...or atleast for me it is. 2k presidential scholarship per year... not great but better than nothing! Post your stats and what you got!</p>

2

<p>not up for me nor my friend</p>

<p>There was a minor problem with my fafsa though but they said it would make no difference.</p>

3

<p>same..i'm confused...it says the COA is like, 33K but my EFC is said to be like, 23K...it says they gave me 2K in presidental scholarships..but how is my EFC 23K?.</p>

<p>my EFC on my fafsa was 15K..i'm confused! help!</p>

4

<p>maybe this is just scholarships and not actual aid yet... im really not sure</p>

5

<p>How do we check?</p>

6

<p>ok i just figured out that my old fafsa w/o corrections was 23K, and after i did corrections, it's 15K..can umd change that on their data, and possibly give me more aid?</p>

7

<p>also, is need based aid out yet? or is it coming out april 1st?</p>

8

<p>whats the link to find out?</p>

9

<p>just kidding, i randomly found it on testudo
go here for anyone else who wants to check:
<a href="http://www.testudo.umd.edu/apps/fastat/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.testudo.umd.edu/apps/fastat/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>i get 8k a year scholarship! woot</p>

10

<p>Yea I got the president's scholars award for 2000. I really hope this isn't it because I am banking on maryland to give me good aid.</p>

11

<p>my thing says an award package has not been made for you yet. </p>

<p>i guess i didn't get any scholarships. There is a problem with my fafsa that will not be resolved until next week. I wrote something stupid incorrect on the fafsa so I have to sign a paper and mail it back.</p>

<p>eskimojm, this SHOULD be the link~
<a href="http://www.financialaid.umd.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.financialaid.umd.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>there is a headline saying AID WILL BE AWARDED TO INCOMING FRESHMEN APRIL 1st...but when you click here <a href="https://www.sis.umd.edu/fastat/%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www.sis.umd.edu/fastat/&lt;/a> there is already an option for fall 2006. you can test it out with your SID/PIN. mines not up yet.</p>

13

<p>Is the financial aid up or is just scholarships? </p>

<p>Did any non-honor kids get aid yet?</p>

14

<p>I dont think mine's up, because even if I didnt qualify for aid, I've qualified for federal loans at other schools, so even if I hadnt gotten any maryland money in any form, the federal loan offer should at least been listed</p>

<p>Cheap - I got the same message as you. Dont sweat it, it's probably just not all been imputted yet (kind of like how things when down with admission notification)</p>

15

<p>Wohoo 8K! Man, I tell ya, if I get into Stanford, they've got some tough competition.</p>

16

<p>Are you guys incoming freshman? I thought aid was only up for return students..............</p>

17

<p>no its up for incoming freshmen, at least mine is</p>

18

<p>so, I get a message saying:</p>

<p>"The aid listed below only reflects aid being received from other resources. We will send you an e-mail when your total aid package is available or you may continue to check this website for changes."</p>

<p>Does this mean 1) I'm havent qualified for any Maryland aid (merit or need based) and the only aid I'm getting is listed here and it happens to be from outside sources (in this case, a federal loan) or 2) any aid just hasnt been posted (I dont qualify for need based so it's probably going to be merit if its anything)</p>

19

<p>eckie i think it probably just means that your aid hasnt been posted yet</p>

20

<p>yeah. that'd be the logical response. sorry. this week is making me crazy (maryland scholarships + wake forest & penn decisions)</p>
