<p>Hi Artsymadre, </p>

<p>Your daughter’s Chapman U aid package will depend upon your FAFSA information you have submitted and will cover this cost of living on campus with a full meal plan. It is very important that if money is a concern that your FAFSA expresses/showed this need and that all the paper work and forms in connection with the FAFSA were turned in as early as possible (need to complete the 2012 income taxes first) to maximize your eligibility for aid. Just to let you know untruths on the FAFSA are a Federal offence not just a problem/ramifications for a student/family at the university level.</p>

<p>I just found this info that might be of help to you regarding the FAFSA:</p>

<p>[FinAid</a> | Financial Aid Applications | Maximizing Your Aid Eligibility](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Maximizing Your Aid Eligibility - Finaid)</p>

<p>The Chapman grant comes in your Chapman aid package. By turning in the FAFSA you have automatically applied for the Chapman grant.</p>

<p>Information of Financial Aid at Chapman U data from past two years:
Students Receiving Aid at Chapman 84%
Receiving Federal Grants 17%, $6,782 on average
Receiving Chapman Grants 79%, $20,136 on average per year
Receiving Student Loans 57%, $6,705 on average </p>

<p>This Chapman U aid package is in addition to the Chancellors Scholarship for $20,000 that you already received.</p>

<p>There are too many variables to guess what your daughter’s Financial Aid package will be in advance. Once your daughter receives her financial package she can try to appeal it if the money is not enough so that she can attend. She would need to contact the Chapman University Financial Aid Office and determine the correct procedure for this appeal and do it as soon as possible. </p>

<p>I hope this information is helpful to you Artsymadre.</p>
