So, for many of us, our financial aid packages arrived today. Considering my EFC is the equivalent of the national debt, I expected $0. I've received merit scholarships from other colleges I've applied to, but have received absolutely $0 in financial aid. To my complete shock Notre Dame was quite generous with a University Scholarship! Apparantly there is a "donor" which I must & will thank.
Financial aid told my mom this award was based on need, but according to FAFSA & CSS, we don't have any need! They also said this was no mistake. So I am stunned and thrilled at the same time.
Is there anyone else out there who expected nothing and got a nice surprise today?
