samee. When did you submit your fafsa and css?
Hi I got accepted today(by email status update) But I didn’t receive any scholarships. Now I realized I never submitted a CSS! Is it too late to submit?
My daughter did not get the letter in the mail yet but when we checked the status online a copy of the letter was there. Question though, in the letter we see online it didn’t mention any scholarship money. For the folks that are saying they got scholarships was it in the letter itself or a separate piece in the mail? I ask because she has been offed top scholarships at all the other schools she has been admitted to so far and it was in the acceptance letters.
What is CSS?
@MLG2019 My daughters scholarship was outlined in the physical letter she received in the mail -within the body of the letter. But in the portal, the letter only mentions her admittance, not the scholarship. I hope that’s good news to you!
That is super helpful! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas.
Is there anyone else still waiting on their mailed package from last week? Received the change and portal letter, but still have not received anything via US Mail?
did anyone receive financial aid? how do we view it?
Received financial aid info in the mail
When have people received financial aid awards in past years?
Check into the housing situation before you decide to attend.
@JBSeattle why do you say that… hard to get?
Because the housing topic pops up repeatedly, I asked some USF students a couple of weeks ago what they and their friends pay. For decent apartments/rooms in nice houses near campus, students are currently paying between $750 - $1100 per month. On the low end are two students sharing a large bedroom in a house; students with a private bedroom in a shared house or apartment were paying $900-$1100/month. They did laugh about one student who is paying $2000/month for a high-end private apartment with covered parking and other amenities; that story was presented as an outlier.
Additionally the comment was made that finding housing near campus was not as difficult as they had been led to believe it would be. Not that it was easy or that there’s a huge inventory, just that stories of difficulty were overblown.
I hope this info is helpful to prospective students in making their decisions. Good luck!
Does everyone coming to this school receive scholarship?
@shinyu113, the short answer to your question is: No. The Common Data set gives a complete breakdown of scholarships awarded:

I just checked my application portal and it says “Decided Decisions are in the mail” in the application status. Does this look different for anybody else?
@antc03 They did announce yesterday that decisions had been made and were being mailed, and that the portals would not update before you receive the decision by postal mail. Best of luck!
