Hi , my son was admitted for spring 2019. Can someone explain the costs for OOS? I understand that with fafsa filing he would be eligible for federal aid .only for the fall semester . What are the approx costs for housing/tuition if he chooses to and live on campus? . Thanks!
This is not true.
I think she’s asking if students in Freshman Connections are eligible for financial aid. It may be the case that no financial aid is available during the FC semester because they student is not officially enrolled.
Am I missing something? I do not see anything specifically regarding FC. Would he be eligible for need based aid as well or is need - based aid available for the Spring only?
The thread title mentions FC. OP, can you be more specific?
Eligibility for federal student aid is not dependent on what semester the student starts or is attending.
Sorry - I was asking about aid for out of state enrollment in freshmen connection . For the Fall, We would pay stated room and board rates for out of state and tuition is based on flat rate for up to 17 credits ? He would be eligible for fed aid, but no additional aid from school?
To clarify , Need based aid .
You have pretty much summed it up. Unless he was getting merit, or an athletic scholarship it is highly unlikely that he would be receiving need based aid as an OOS
Ok thank you .
Is he PELL eligible? If not he is only eligibile for his federal loan
But does the fact that he’s in Freshman Connection affect federal aid eligibility? A student in FC is not matriculated in University of Maryland. They are non-matriculating students for that semester. I think that’s the question.
Thank you ,I will follow up with office of financial aid tomorrow.
