<p>I got my inital offer form rutgers and was dissapointed to find that I got no grants, $2000 work study(which I wont accept), and $3500 loan. I says below it that I appear to be elgible for a tuition aid grant (TAG) and that the New Jersey HESAA will contact me directly. </p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone know how long I might be waiting to find out whether I will get this grant or not. It will greatly affect my college decision.</p>
<p>Also, does this inital offer also include whether or not I might recieve merit-based scholarships? Im not really expecting one, but I got a surprising $9,000/yr merit-based scholarship from another state school (NJIT) and was wondering if I still had reason to hope.</p>
<p>My aid package included my scholarship and it was the same for a couple of other people over at the Rutgers forum. If you were accepted a while before you got your package and your package didn't include your scholarship, chances are that you haven't been awarded one. </p>
<p>As for TAG, I was curious about that too. I'll ask my guidance counselor tomorrow and maybe you can do the same, then tomorrow we can put what we know together?</p>
<p>I got my acceptance a long time ago..a few weeks after that I got a merit-based shcolarship...still haven't seen my financial aid thing yet (they said that one of my documents is missing)</p>
<p>I got accepted like 2 weeks ago, and got my inital offer 2 days ago. Is it possible I still have a merit-based scholarship coming? Yea ill ask my consuler about when the tag will come</p>
<p>So does anyone know if I may still recieve merit-based aid and any idea when I will be notified about an NJ TAG?</p>
<p>Seriously I really need to know when I will find out about NJ TAG</p>
<p>try calling the hotline 1-800-792-8670</p>
<p>It says my ss number was not found on file. You dont have to apply seperately, right? I just filled out my fafsa and put my 2 colleges down.</p>
