Congrats to everyone accepted into the class of 2022!
Has anyone received information about their financial aid award yet? Anyone know if it comes as a letter or if it’s updated on the Gibson portal? (My portal only shows my merit aid award at the moment.) Any information/feedback would be appreciated.
I haven’t received any info about financial aid yet, but I know PTA and DHS come out late February, which based on an old blog post means the 20th or later.
thank you!!! also, I ended up reading somewhere that finaid stuff is released around the end of January, after the final due date for CSS profiles, I think.
D was accepted EA to Tulane in 2015. We didn’t get her FA package until late March because there was a form missing and she didn’t get an email about it nor was it clear on the portal that anything was missing. Finally she emailed FA to see why the FA offer hadn’t arrived and only then did she learn about the missing form (which was something very simple, like 3 lines - no other school required it). Unfortunately this was too late for her to visit and she had a similar FA offer elsewhere and took it.
I post this just to say, make sure you stay on top of the docs required. Had the offer come sooner we could have visited and she would have given it a shot. It was a much better offer than we expected, once we finally got it. Near full ride without loans.
@OHMomof2 wow… curious abt what that missing form is. hoping it’s not the same case for me i will check in w FA offices if I don’t hear back before february.
I have such a dumb FA question…accepting the terms and conditions doesn’t equate to accepting the offer of admission right? I realize I haven’t checked that box yet. Can anyone confirm?
@lalalander111 Need based award was better than I expected but the merit scholarship was a bit less than hoped. I guess it evens out for year 1 but need changes from year to year - especially when my older son graduates college. Merit stays constant so I would have preferred that. Overall cost is more than expected but it may be doable. Waiting to hear from other acceptances…
