What are the chances that my uni has used up all the FA?

Paying for College

<p>So, I want to attend SFA in Nacogdoches, which has a rolling admissions (if that matters, idk). I wanted to attend Texas State but had a change of mind and decided that I wanted to go to SFA.</p>

<p>I put SFA on my FAFSA around March and submitted all necessary documents by May 16th. It would've been sooner if SNAP didn't take so long to give me a summary of their service to us for the 2011 year but that's not the point lol.</p>

<p>I've been waiting about 3 weeks, and I'm worried they don't have any FA to give out. My single mom made <16k last year as a housekeeper, so this FA package could REALLY affect whether or not I go to college for the fall.</p>

<p>Everything considered, what are the chances that SFA could give out any FA to me at this time?</p>

<p>You have to ask them You can also look at their history in terms of giving FA Do they guarantee to meet need? What % of need do they tend to meet?</p>

<p>No matter what you would eligible for a Pell Grant (~$5500) and a Stafford Loan (~$5500). I don’t know if any Texas aid money would be exhausted or not. Your best bet is to call the FA dept there.</p>

<p>Yes, according to some financial aid statistics online, SFA fully meets the need of FAFSA applicants about 65% of the time (for freshmen, 2009-10).</p>

<p>I called them with the same question and they said it should be fine and I’ll be notified in the next few weeks. I guess I’m still a little worried that at least 70% of my tuition and expenses won’t be met. Best of luck though, thanks guys.</p>
