<p>on the Oasis site. </p>
<p>USC was generous and he has no scholarship but they met all need with a large grant, a small stafford loan, and a small work study. </p>
<p>Since he is a NMF's I wonder how that will impact the loan and the work study or if they will reduce the USC grant?</p>
<p>if you don't mind, could you please post his aid package? did USC meet his full need as stated on his FAFSA and PROFILE? i kind of want to see how USC deals with financial need.</p>
<p>what is the link to the oasis site?</p>
<p>here is the oasis site</p>

<p>Son has
28K in grants
3500 stafford loan
2500 work study</p>
<p>The rest is EFC. It appears his EFC was about 2K higher on with Profile than on FAFSA alone on USC's calcualtions.</p>
<p>He is a NMF so I am not sure how the Half tuition merit scholarship will figure into this if he names USC his top choice.</p>
<p>is it possible that they may contribute to the 10,000 in roomandboard, books, and food? or is tht something that finaid won't cover? just curious cause i didnt do a fafsa or profile</p>
<p>Hot DAMN that FA is amazing. I really want to find out my FA ASAP so I should probably fax my tax returns as soon as I can haha</p>
<p>also: How do you find our your password for OASIS?</p>
<p>I think its your bday mm/dd/yy if i remember correctly =</p>
<p>mmm not working. Oh well.</p>
<p>no slashes in the password, mmddyy</p>
<p>drizzit... how long did it take for them to put it up after you had submitted all your tax forms?</p>
<p>Tax forms were faxed in on February 27th. USC listed them as received on March 9th. financial aid was posted about two weeks after Son was accepted.</p>
<p>Wow...That's pretty good. Except my EFC isn't low...or high...so I don't know how much they'll be giving me. </p>
<p>The wait is killing me.</p>
<p>what would be apporximate EFC to get what drizzit got?</p>
<p>"The rest is EFC."</p>
<p>So I'm assuming 16k EFC?</p>
<p>FAFSA EFC was 12.5K. Sure glad I have twins getting ready to go into school at the same time. They split the EFC and each are getting decent packages at this level.</p>
<p>Profile and USC make some changes to base fafsa and it must have come out to about 15K. I rounded down the grant ;)</p>
<p>I would suspect that the NMF scholarship would reduce the need-based grant, but you can double-check with the FAid office to get definitive info.</p>
<p>ughhh.
i tried to look mine up & it said "financial aid status: under review."
a little worried now, since the cost is a big thing in my household..</p>
<p>Thanks for posting your info. It has made me less worried. My EFC is like 6k, so I think I can accept alot of grant aid :). Thats the important thing.</p>
