Overherethere –

1. The requirement to file FAFSA each year is an expectation for receiving aid at virtually all colleges, at least for U.S. residents.

2. Did the letter show amounts? Usually the letter will show the Cost of Attendance (COA), and show specific amounts for each grant (Metro Grant, Tuition Award) and Loan. Since they’ve mentioned unsubsidized Stafford loans, if this is a financial aid offer letter then it would seem that they have put a package together that meets your “need” as FAFSA defines it.

If you’d like to share more details from the letter (the specific amounts for each item suggested, not your personal identifying information ) then we can probably help you interpret it.
