Hello,

I am an international student and I applied for financial aid and I submitted the CSS Profile. Since I’m not very familiar with the system in US universities, I had a few doubts and I would appreciate it a lot if someone answered them.

1. The FA notification I received mentioned the aid for the next year. So will I have to fill the CSS again after my freshman year? Or will the aid amount remain the same for all four years?

2. If there is no significant change in the net family income, will the aid amount remain nearly the same? If there is a significant change, could it reduce or increase the aid accordingly?

3. If there is a change (or even if there is not) and there is a lot of remaining need, what options will I have to prevent dropping out? Are there subsidized or non subsidized loans to help such students or some kind of work-study for international students?
