Georgetown Aid Matching?

[sybbie719]

Keep in mind that Chicago is now a FAFSA only school and Georgetown still uses the profile. So, off the bat they gave different methodologies of calculating your need. Did you read Georgetown policy in appeals or financial review

Georgetown only offers need based financial aid (they call their financial aid scholarships). So they will not care what you got in merit from USC, they are not going to “match it”. But you could have found this out from simply reading their financial aid page;

@Georgetown University

Each year Georgetown University awards several hundred need-based scholarships to eligible undergraduates. Individual awards range in value from $1,000 to more than $60,000 per year, depending on the student’s financial need. In addition to small loan and work-study awards, these scholarships meet 100% of eligible undergraduates’ demonstrated financial need.

requesting additional aid

Most schools are upfront with the fact that they will consider an award letter from a peer school.

You may be eligible for additional financial aid if there has been a change in your financial circumstances that was not reported on your initial aid application. Such changes may affect the calculation of your expected contribution towards college costs. Typical examples of changes include significant reductions in reported income, unreimbursed parental or spousal medical expenses, uninsured losses, loss of employment, a serious illness or the death of a parent or spouse.
