I got a financial aid award that was described as “University Pitt Grant Freshman” for a little over 11k. Is this a scholarship or something else?



That’s a grant (ex. generally government paid scholarship). You get it for the 2013-2014 year but you’ll need to reapply with FAFSA every year to get more grant money (IIRC). You should contact OAFA and ask them to make sure that you have to do this (as opposed to thinking it will automatically come to you every year the way a scholarship would).
