| I got just about 30k in scholarships and grants from NYU. I sent in an appeal and they gave me an extra $2,500. My friend also appealed and got $2,500. I haven't heard of a case with 30k+ in scholarships |

| I'm pretty new to this whole college thing... which is pretty bad, I must admit, but when giving out financial aid, do schools or that FAFSA thing take into consideration any debt? ...heh. No one's mentioned any debts so far, but I would like to know... | |

| FAFSA only looks at income, does not care about bills or debt. | |

| ^Yep, it takes into consideration debt but I'm not 100% if credit card debt or debt of that nature counts.
If you owe on your house though, it will take that into consideration as you put a value on your assets. |

| I'm applying ED to NYU Tisch Film & Television next year, been thinking about it nonstop since the start of junior year, lol. My parents are divorced and I'm listed under my dad's income, which is like 15K. How much do you think NYU would give me? My grades are only about average for NYU, to be frank. I'm actually hoping for HEOP. | |

| I just got off the waitlist and they said that I have the same opportunity of getting FA as if I would have gotton in regularly. How much they give me is another story. I guess we'll just have to wait and see! (and yes I know many people that have appealed and were granted with more money) | |

| I got no money, only aid in the form of a PLUS loan of about 2500. I visited the financial aid office and they said no to more money...does that mean I can't appeal? How exactly does one appeal the offer? | |

| Molly4190, what was your EFC. I'm guessing it was pretty high if they only offered you a loan of 2500. | |

| Just wanted to add that I just appealed my financial aid as a rising junior and received approximately $6000 in aid for next year (a grant, a subsidized loan and work study)
The key as a returning student is: fill out the form. You can send in a letter and all this information but they won't even look at it unless you fill out the online appeal form.
This form appears just after the school year ends on the financial aid website for about 3 weeks. So be sure to catch it. | |

| If you appeal once during freshman year, can you appeal again in the years after? | |
