Anybody know when financial aid/scholarship packages come out?
My son was awarded a small “regents merit scholarship” (for in-state students). It’s listed on his portal but I don’t think he received an email. I think (?) need-based aid packages come out in early/mid March.
Same @mckate, I also got the $1500. If you don’t mind me asking, was yours the same?
Where on the portal do you get scholarship notifications?
@SALVAJE, congrats! Yes, I believe that’s the standard amount for the regents scholarship ($750 for each semester, non-renewable). I’ve heard that it’s awarded to roughly the top 1/3 of in-state applicants.
Thanks for the heads up @mckate, my son just checked and he also got the $1500 regents scholarship - nice surprise!
Congratulations to all IS (Regents) scholarship recipients! I hope you receive more scholarships to stack with it.
OOS here. Given the high selectivity and steep competition, DS is not expecting much in terms of merit.
On another note, DS clicked submit on his LSA Honors app (essays)!
@romns116 Way to go! My son keeps saying he’s going to apply to Honors…but hasn’t yet…

@wmc656 Congrats!! Do you mind sharing your stats?
Is it normal that even though I got accepted to CoE, the booklet in the big envelope is about LSA？ thanks.

@mckate Thank you for the heads-up. My son also received the Regents Scholarship. It was a very pleasant surprise! Congratulations to all recipients.
Hi Everyone,
Official FA offer was posted on DS’s portal, but I’m having trouble reading it. Where do I see the gap (if one exists)?
Edit^
The portal update was an Award Summary (not an actual Award Notice). There are numbers in the Award Summary tab, but no PDF file in the Award Notice tab. I guess we’ll continue waiting for an actual notice.
Hey all, just a question about financial aid.
I just checked my portal and I did not get much aid at all. I probably can’t afford to go here unless I get some merit scholarships. Is this financial aid award based just on our FAFSA, and so more merit/other scholarship offers will be posted later on? I only received the Regents Scholarship and everything else is expected to be either loans or EFC. Thank you!
I’m the same way. I barely got any aid, maybe around $4k in grants. There’s no way I can afford it. My EFC is literally dozens of thousands of dollars lower. Is there any more aid coming/should I contact the Financial Aid office and ask for more?
