*We have not received the financial aid package from the school yet but I am not expecting any scholarship/grant money. Is it best to contact the financial aid office now or should I wait until after I receive the package? *

???

If you don’t expect to get any scholarship or grant money, on what grounds would you ask for more money? What is your EFC?

*should I wait until after I receive the package? *

If you already know that it won’t contain any scholarships or grants, that means it will likely just have a 5500 student loan in it. So, why wait?

What school is this? Is it an OOS public?
