<p>Sopranokitty, are you sure the page doesn’t say “Estimated Financial NEED?” Because $4,063 sounds like a reasonable EFC (estimated financial contribution). </p>
<p>Go back to MyAwards and double-check. Your financial aid amounts should be listed at the bottom.</p>
<p>On Sept. 12, your financial aid will be added to your account. So, don’t freak out if you have a $5,000 account balance right now. If you are eligible for financial aid this quarter, it will be cleared on Sept. 12th. There are no penalties, as I believe the actual deadline (for students paying out of pocket) is Sept. 15th.</p>
