<p>Ok, so we've gotten the letters of admission, the letters of invitation to the special programs (scholars, honors, gemstone, etc.), and now some of the scholarship letters are out. When does all the financial aid info come out? I'm talking about the final fin aid letter that factors in pell grants, work study, etc.?</p>
<p>when my mom and i called last week, they said that they would be sending an email on wednesday...which is TODAY. i have been checking my email and the financial aid website obsessively, but there is nothing. i'm hoping that by the end of the night we'll know.</p>
<p>Ok... it's now April 4th. </p>
<p>No word, yet, eh?</p>
<p>Anyone get their fin. aid info yet?</p>
<p>Nope not yet, still waiting......</p>
<p>here's what you do:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>go to <a href="http://www.umd.edu/fin%5B/url%5D">www.umd.edu/fin</a></p></li>
<li><p>click on "check your award status online" in the left pane</p></li>
<li><p>click "show me my status" and select your year (probably 2005 - 2006)</p></li>
<li><p>enter your SID (usually your SSN) and PIN</p></li>
<li><p>after you log in, click "my awards"</p></li>
</ol>
<p>voila!</p>
<p>Haha... you make it sound like we have no awareness of the UMd website. I've been checking that site for weeks, and it always says: "The aid listed below only reflects aid being received from other resources. We will send you an e-mail when your total aid package is available or you may continue to check thiswebsite for changes. "</p>
<p>As in, wait for actual financial aid. I've got a merit scholarship, but I'm still waiting on grant money from the college/state/etc. And loans if it comes to that...</p>
<p>hm... maybe yours got delayed or something, because both my scholarship and grant are listed on the site. you may want to call the office of financial aid to make sure.</p>
