Will I get my financial aid package with an acceptance letter from Umass Amherst?

I am a high school senior who applied to Umass Amherst as well as Temple University. But I am out of state for Temple, and about 14k short-- even with the financial aid package they give me (I had already enrolled).

I was recommended by my friends and family to see what Umass Amherst has to offer, but I have yet to hear back from them. It’s past the FAFSA deadline date, so when/if I get my acceptance letter, will my financial aid package come along with it?

If not, do I have to officially attend Umass Amherst to get it? I am very confused about the process. None of my family members when to a university I do not know who to talk to either.

You’ll get your financial aid info at the same time. I’m confused why you mentioned the FAFSA deadline though, did you submit it?
