<p>Hey everyone, I'm new here and I'm having problems with my financial aid. I am graduating from a community college here in FL ( Santa Fe College) in a couple of weeks. Anyways I applied to a couple of universities and have been accepted. I'm choosing to go to USF because I really like the school and the city of Tampa. But the problem is that I have yet to receive my financial aid package from here. I got my financial aid package from the other schools last month, but none from USF. The only thing it says is that I received the Bright Futures Scholarship, but no Pell Grant or even Loans. Does anyone know when they will send out financial aid package for Transfer Students? Oh, by the way my EFC is 0.</p>
<p>Phone the USF financial aid office and ask for assistance: 813 974-4700.</p>
<p>I did and they said they are still working on it and I should receive it by this week. I called again a couple days later and they told me that I should receive it by the beginning of May. How am I supposed to make decision if its going to take that long???</p>
<p>You’re not the only one. I’m a freshman and they still have not adjusted my loans after FAFSA corrections.</p>
<p>I know you’re anxious to get your financial aid awards finalized, but there are only about 10 “frontline” financial aid counselors at USF-Tampa for about 40,000 students, so they’ve got their hands full. They have helpers and supervisors, but 10 people are doing a lot of stuff! Be patient and they’ll get you set up financially at USF. If you pop your student number in the box in the attached link, you’ll get the name of the counselor who has your file, contact them directly any time you need help with your financial aid.</p>
