My Financial Aid Package

We called the financial aid office. Even though we haven’t filed the FAFSA yet (you can’t until January 1st) we used a EFC calculator, and it was roughly $4,000. Apparently that’s too much and there for I don’t qualify for ANY grants what so ever. WHAT SO EVER! They just told me to apply to all the scholarships I could in hopes all the loans wouldn’t be that bad.

The worst part is, I’m still not 18, so some of that $4000 is due to the child support my Dad gives us… but I’m not going to be getting child support when it comes time to pay NYU! Sigh… Right now I’ve got $7000 from NYU, and the rest will have to be outside scholarships and loans. Fun.

I’m a little upset, but NYU’s my dream school and I’m lucky to have even been accepted, so oh well. I’m just still so excited I got in! Woohoo! Again, congrats to us all!
