Yes! Cornell Came Through

<p>My fin aid package was awesome. We got a $43,000 Cornell Grant and a $4000 Tradition Fellowship plus the EEE, meaning we only have to pay $10,500 a year!!</p>

<p>Looks like I'm gonna be a Cornellian this fall :D</p>

<p>Would you mind sharing your household income or what your FAFSA EFC was on your SAR?</p>

<p>Yea I second that request? I was late in sending in finaid forms but I hope to get an idea from what you got!
Congrats btw :)</p>

<p>Our income is about $90,000 and our FAFSA EFC was $13,500 but we also have a home that lost about 20% of its value; Cornell takes that into account.</p>

<p>Their fin aid calculator was actually pretty accurate. It said we would be responsible for $15,000 total, but the Cornell Tradition Fellowship grant knocked $4,000 off of that. </p>

<p>Hope it’s affordable for you guys!</p>

<p>Cornell will meet everything but your EFC.</p>

<p>woww you got a huge grant! i got a 43k grant from Cornell also, but my income is half of yours at 38k.</p>

<p>My income is going up for 2012 to be around 90-100k and I was worried that I would have to pay significantly more, but maybe I won’t have to.</p>

<p>^ DarkIce. My EFC is only 800, but I’m still left to pay around 8k. o.0</p>

<p>^ weird. I had EFC of 0 and paid nothing.</p>

<p>ehh it’s ok. i’m still extremely happy with my aid since i will pay 4x less then what my sibling currently pays at a state school</p>

<p>I have to admit it…I am jealous. We got nothing :frowning: But I am so happy for you!</p>

<p>How did you view your award? I am having a hard time viewing mine. Thanks!</p>
