<p>I received an e-mail that congratulated me for receiving financial "awards".
Just wondering what everyone else received because I was surprised at the aid they were giving.</p>
<p>Income (Single parent): $50,000
Individual part-time job: $10,000</p>
<p>Total income in household: $60,000 </p>
<p>Expected contribution: $3,842</p>
<p>UW yearly financial support: $13,284</p>
<p>My “award” was a $10,000 loan. lol.</p>
<p>Laughter, how much of that $13,284 is in grants and how much in loans? Just out of curiosity.</p>
<p>Oh woops ~</p>
<p>I receive $9,933 in grants and exemption, and I receive $3,351 in loans for the year.</p>
<p>all loans here ~13K</p>
<p>i’m out-of-state</p>
<p>EFC = $0 (income is 22k for family)</p>
<p>roughly $8k in grants
rest in loans.</p>
<p>and i really want to attend UW…i don’t know what to do, go to UCSD with lower costs (about 10k per year in loans) or UW with around 35k in loans per year…</p>
<p>if money wasn’t a problem, i would definitely choose UW.</p>
<p>If I were you I’d choose UCSD, but that’s just a personal preference.</p>
<p>Got the whole year paid “off” - 24,000 in LOANS (ugh).
In-state.</p>
<p>physex You will probably have to go to UCSD ( a goood school) You will not qualify for 35k in loans per year if your family income is 22k unless you have a wealthy grand parent or uncle. Either way 35k per year loans is way too much debt.</p>
<p>wait I’m in a pretty high income level (around 150k) and I got loans that covered full tuition + dorm. does this have to do with merit? i don’t see how federal loans can be awarded for merit though…</p>
<p>That’s seems like decent aid considering how high your family’s income is.</p>
<p>I don’t understand how you incoming freshman all know your award status for next year…however as a continuing student I don’t know next years award still!!!</p>
<p>(I emailed financial aid earlier today…just waiting on a reply)</p>
<p>Husky Promise, so ~14k a year in grants, and I’m not taking loans so about $9000 a year will be out of pocket. While I live on campus anyways, after that I guess everything will be free. Pretty happy.</p>
<p>@ costax interesting, I got the husky promise as well, but I have 23K a year in grants, and zero in loans?? I though thats what the Husky promise was!</p>
<p>What the hell? So you got a full ride? Nice!</p>
<p>And btw, Husky Promise just guarantees coverage of tuition I think, not room and board.</p>
<p>My friend says it usually costs 9-10K/year without dorming for him.
With the grants he receives (around 9K), he’s pretty much covered. </p>
<p>After reexamining, I’m getting about 9.9K in grants (loan not included), and seeing I won’t be dorming (apartmenting next year), I’m expected to fork less than $500 this year (if the estimated grants do not change).</p>
<p>@diriris1 that was my understanding that it was a full ride completely, but I guess not. If you don’t mind, what income/people in college are their in your family? my FAFSA EFC was 00000 so I didn’t know you could get more aid then what I got haha</p>
<p>I still haven’t received my aid package. What gives?</p>
<p>how much exactly does it cost to attend UW when you don’t dorm? Is it ~$9k or ~$15k? I don’t understand why there is a room&board cost associated with the non-dorming cost total…</p>
<p>Closer to ~$9. That’s about my cost to attend UW per year, when you include books (I buy them online at a fraction of the UBookstore price) and transportation. As for food, I don’t really know how to factor that into the cost since I only have lunch on campus (sometimes bring from home food, sometimes campus food). It’s certainly cheaper to buy things in bulk and cook.</p>
