August… OMG I guess we better notify them about outside awards now.

It was just nice last year to find out what his original FA package looked like. He received three outside scholarships ((K total) after FA notification last year and we were able to see how it affected his package. The first 5500 went towards unmet need I guess, and since they use the profile it was nice to see what they felt our institutional EFC was. THe next 3500 eliminated loans. This year his 6K scholarship has been renewed and we are still waiting on a 1K scholarship from his employer which we are pretty sure he will get (the flyers say everyone should apply because they have tons of scholarships -really).

I’m just worried that if he notifies them of his 6K now they may reduce a possible institutional grant instead of loans and unmet need.
