<p>I received a presidential scholarship from Rutgers and I think it's supposed to cover the total cost.</p>
<p>I am also going to receive financial aid (because of low family income). What will this financial aid package mean if technically, I already have a full scholarship.</p>
<p>Unless, the presidential scholarship (~21K/year) doesn't cover the full cost?</p>
<p>Can anyone help me out?</p>
<p>ummm hmm…I don’t know. maybe the financial aid will also help you pay for books and other fees and whatnot. are you eof as well?</p>
<p>and also, are you sure you will receive fin aid? they will most likely recognize your pres scholarship so you might not get any because of that.</p>
<p>no i am not eof, but my efc is 0 according to the fafsa. one of my friends also received the presidential scholarship. she still received the financial aid package.</p>
<p>i checked mine, but found out they need proof of my us citizenship first before they show me… i sent the proof. so i should know the financial aid package in a few weeks.</p>
<p>the reason i am asking is i’ve heard rumors about people “getting paid” to go to rutgers–basically getting spending money. i’m a bit hesitant towards accepting that notion.</p>
<p>it depends. If you are frugal and get a lot of outside scholarships, then yes, you will get money back. However, a word of caution, some books must be bought in sets, costing around $150 or even more. That doesn’t even include the clickers and stuff.</p>
