<p>I will be a sophomore at Stern this fall, and was wondering if anyone has seen a case where returning students get financial aid when he/she as a freshman did not get anything. My family can technically afford the tuition, but it's still an insane amount, and my younger sister will be graduating high school next year, which puts more pressure on my family in terms of paying for college. I did submit the FAFSA on January 1st 2014, but I was wondering if anyone has received a merit based and/or need-based scholarship from Stern as a returning student??</p>
