With FAFSA & CSS Profiles due mid February....

When do the schools typically send out their financial aid packages? Some colleges my son was accepted EA. Gotten merit aid offers. Waiting on a few RD responses. All his colleges had due dates of 15 Feb recommended to have all forms in. Just curious to know.

And the two RD schools do they typically send the fin aid offers separately or with acceptances if your child accepted?

And if you don’t qualify for need based aid do they let you know that too?

Sorry I am full of questions today!

If you have applied for financial aid, you will get it either in your acceptance packet or shortly thereafter. For the EA acceptances, you will receive your aid package likely some time in early April.

In any event, you should have them all in plenty of time to make a matriculation decision on April 30.

You need to have your student check their student portal to be certain that all things have been submitted. Also,some schools post the financial aid awards online as well.

Excellent thank you! This wait is a bigger stress than waiting on acceptances!
