It will be included with the contract information. When you make your decision to go to a school that has accepted you (deadline A10?), you will have to commit to a payment plan for tuition, so your share based on FA will be included in the contract.

They will not award you more than you have asked for, at least not in need based FA. If you claim in your FA forms that you’d be willing to pay $40K, they’ll take your word for it so long as your FA application indicates that your fair share is <=$40K.

If things have changed since your application (loss of income due to layoff injury or death), that would be a very good reason to appeal.

If the FA package is less generous than you expected, and you have reason to believe that your family’s circumstances weren’t fully taken into account, you might consider appealing.
