My daughters FAFSA was select for verification, which we have submitted the necessary documents. Her financial aide packet is still being processed, so we don’t have any information yet. My question is regarding the scholarships available at UMD, she hasn’t received any notifications regarding any awards for them, although I have read others have. Is this because of the verification or did she just not get one? Have they all been awarded?
You can get some information on this thread.
Thank you, I read that thread and didn’t see anything in particular to still waiting for financial packet due to verification and getting scholarships awards. It just said the merit awards have been distributed. I’m hoping there’s still hope for one since we don’t have our packet.
Usually verification is not meant for merit awards since merit awards are not based on FA. It’s just the school may give you more money than they usually do and need to verify that you didn’t lie on fafsa or anything before they do.
@Daisy50 - thank you! Do you know if UMD is still handing out Merit awards?
