UGA Financial Aid

<p>Does anyone know when they release their financial aid packages and how good they are with meeting need?</p>

<p>I called the Financial Aid office yesterday during my lunch break and they said all Financial Aid packages will be released at the end of March and into April and any scholarships would be posted at the status check at that time. I read somewhere (I’m pretty positive but not 100% sure) that merit based scholarships are only given out to 5-7% of the admitted freshmen. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Keep in mind also that the state budget is a real mess in GA. If FA is required for your child to attend, I would make sure that the award rises if out of state tuition increases.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
