<p>My son received his initial award after being admitted EA. $20,000 plus $2,000 more for scholars program. Has anyone had their award increased or changed when the final financial package is received? </p>
<p>When my son received his award, he was notified that it could increase. He is just an accepted freshman, so I don’t know what the real deal is. Some people say you should complete the FAFSA, even if you don’t expect need based financial aid, and that might help your chances at more merit aid, but others say you absolutely don’t need to.</p>
