To the OP…you say you “knew your aid in December” but truthfully, your financial aid award would NOT have been finalized until your family’s income taxes were filed and the corrected financial aid forms (FAFSA/Profile) were filed with your school. There is NO WAY your taxes were completed for 2008 by December. When did your family complete your taxes and when was your FAFSA amended to reflect that you had filed and that the info on your FAFSA matched the tax return?

In any event…schools DO make mistakes…so do call them first thing on Monday. In the meantime, you can check your SAR on the FAFSA website to see if it differs in any way from the one you think they used. Check it LINE BY LINE to see if there is a difference anywhere on the forms.
