Hunter's Moon Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I just finished dropping off my verification forms for FAFSA at the CC's financial aid office on Friday. Today I went onto the school's website and signed into my account. I clicked "My Financial Aid Letter" just for ha-ha's and it says "Award (non-need based): $564.00." The thing is though, it has it listed under Fall, but this will be for Spring. Is that all they are offering me? When I go my account and check financial aid by term, it says for Spring of 2012, I only get $564.00 but it is non-need based. Our EFC is 0, so I wonder if they haven't gotten around to need-based yet? I'm confused and worried. I'm going to talk with them tomorrow morning, but that can't come soon enough :tongue_smilie: Tuition and fees for Spring will be about $2,084 without books. If that's all they give me, what else can I do? Can I apply for loans alone, or because they didn't offer them I can't get them?? I don't know how all this works, but there is no way we can pay anything out of pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Chances are that they haven't awarded need-based aid yet, so there's still hope. You could still qualify for need based federal aid if your EFC is 0 (Pell Grant). That wouldn't have to be paid back. If not, what they offer could be loans. Federal loans have advantages with deferred interest and if I read your cost correctly, there should be enough available that you can still go. With your career plans, I would think it's a worthy investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I would call them. Sometimes the Federal Aide is gone by now. Get the new FASFA in early in January for next fall. Good luck. Keep asking questions. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter's Moon Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 I called and was told the non-need based was an outside scholarship but they can't tell me from where unless I go there in person :001_huh: I know I qualified for the Abigail Adams Scholarship, but I'm pretty sure you can't get it unless in a public institution for 12th grade. Hmmm.... Anyways, they said they can't process my federal aid until I bring my final transcript. I am almost done with classes, so hopefully the process won't take too long.
