How’s everyone doing on scholarship money and financial aid?



Well, considering a lot of posters here received merit aid or acceptance into universities that provide extremely generous financial aid, I think that we are all doing quite well. :)

And with regards to my situation, after some negotiations with the financial aid office, their initial estimate of upwards of $17,000 was reduced to a far more reasonable $9,500.



I’ve gotten approximately $70K in scholarship money, so I’m looking forward to pocketing almost $30K from that when I do graduate with my BS!



That is excellent! Congratulations. If I may ask, from where does this scholarship money come? Is it the result of competitions discrete from the school, or is it from the institute you shall be matriculating at next year itself?
