summer financial aid?

<p>someone told me that it was coming in the second week of april. does anyone actually have a confirmed date? if not than thats ok. im just eager and impatient =p.</p>

<p>Came out yesterday</p>

<p>It did come out yesterday- today the financial aid toolkit is down for “processing”. FSU did this same thing when they assigned fall/spring financial aid and actually told me beforehand that they do this to keep from getting an influx of phone calls all at one time. For anyone reading this now or in the future let me warn you of something…</p>

<p>My daughter will be starting at FSU in June 2011 as a freshman in the CARE program. Her fall and spring financial aid packages were great! Her summer one was so ridiculously small that I felt like her college career was going up in flames ($300 PELL grant, $2500 in loans). Not the case, if you are a CARE student and you qualify for even $1 of PELL grant assistance then FSU gives you a special grant that covers 100% of your summer costs (tuition, books, meal plan, incidentals, etc.). Mr Nyahuma, the CARE financial aid officer, has not been able to see before now who would be PELL eligible and therefore your summer financial aid package is not complete if you are in the CARE program and PELL eligible. He went so far as to say if you are offered loans and you even accept them, FSU will on your behalf decline the loans and issue you a special grant. Again this is only the case for CARE students who are PELL eligible.</p>

<p>I am only sharing this for informational purposes so that no one else is up nights worrying about how they are going to pay for their CARE Summer Bridge Program.</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>There’s nothing in my summer award. Does this mean that I’m not getting anything for the summer?</p>

<p>there isnt anything for mine either. it still says that isubmitted an application, and the only thing i can do is view my application for summer aid. =/… maybe they havent gotten around to me yet?</p>

<p>They took it down again for some reason…I have a screenshot of my daughter’s but they did back everything out and nothing is showing up now on her blackboard. No worries…I have a feeling there were some issues with how they did it. They actually only granted her the amount of PELL money that she would have been eligible for based on our 2011-2012 FAFSA and not the amount she would have been eligible for based on our 2010-2011. I have a feeling they had to roll back the awards because something went wrong with their new system.</p>

<p>I called the fsu financial aid office and the representative told me it will show up in the beginning of next week</p>

<p>greeeaaatt a longer waitttt. oh well lol.</p>

<p>I still think the delay is because the Financial Aid Office is waiting 'til next week to see how things shakeout with federal budget bill that is supposed to be finalized and voted on by this Friday.</p>

<p>josephalexandra, did you see the price of Optimus phone was jacked to $200 everywhere! The only complaint I have with the phone is battery life, but I guess smartphones drain batteries much faster than regular feature cell phones.</p>

<p>@tallalassie wow are you serious thats crazy i’m so glad I got this phone I can’t seem to keep my hands of it lol and I totally agree with you about the battery I mean the phone is amazing but that battery life kills me I literally have to bring my charger to school everyday because I run it that low but I can’t complain I wish it had adobe so I can watch shows but I love it otherwise :D</p>

<p>If Summer 2011 is considered part of 2010-2011, then here is the link to the tuition rates. </p>

<p>I don’t know what else you mean by “cost of summer all together minus the housing”</p>

<p>[Main</a> Campus / Tuition Rates / SFS For Students / Student Financial Services / Controller’s Office / FSU - Controller’s Office](<a href=“http://controller.vpfa.fsu.edu/Student-Financial-Services/SFS-For-Students/Tuition-Rates/Main-Campus]Main”>Tuition and Estimated Costs)</p>

<p>I did see a 2011-2012 tuition estimate that was $160+ per credit, but I can’t find it now.</p>
