SLO Financial Aid

<p>Every time I click on to the website and try to see my financial aid, not only does it say “2011” but it says it’s unavailable. I guess that would make sense if my freshman year were 2011, but it’s 2010… Are they dumb? I got accepted to UCSD today and my financial aid package there is fine. Help? :)</p>

<p>Any helpful replies would be appreciated!</p>

<p>It’s because financial aid assessment/ info will be released april first along with their scholarship awards…</p>

<p>Here this is from the financial aid website: Award Process
If you have been admitted to Cal Poly, the Financial Aid Office will compute your eligibility and make your award. Check the MyCalPoly portal on the ‘Money Matters’ tab to see your award detailing the types and amounts of financial aid and scholarships you are eligible to receive. Awards may be viewed the beginning of April. Scholarships are awarded April through August.</p>

<p>so what you’re saying is that no one has gotten their financial aid package yet? i find this hard to believe :(</p>

<p>You are not alone. CP notified me on 02/16 that they offered me admissions, and I have been checking back every other day for the financial aid page to update.
As of today, my financial aid page still states the following:</p>

<p>Aid Year Institution Aid Year Description
2011 Cal Poly No financial aid data available.
2010 Cal Poly No financial aid data available.</p>

<p>I hope they will update it soon because I really want to see what their offering is.</p>

<p>Yeah no worries! Check it on April 1rst!</p>

<p>I just checked my webportal and saw my full 2010-2011 financial aid package calculated already… hope yours is too!</p>

<p>i’m expected to pay more at SLO than at UCD?
***.
10200$ in loans vs. 8300.
well i guess SLO made my decision easier lol!</p>

<p>How did your financial aid breakdown? Ours:
$5500 in Stafford (sub + unsub)
Balance in PLUS loan.</p>

<p>We are out of state.</p>

<p>I’m not sure what you mean but my aid looked something like this:

<p>Where did you all get this? I see nothing in my financial aid parts…</p>

<p>Yeah. I was offered about $21,000 in loans too.</p>

<p>Disregard my post…Guess it changed today. Woo loans =/</p>

<p>Whats work-study i was offered 3,000 through this program</p>

<p>can you guys post your EFC’s? if its not too personal?</p>

<p>efc = 0
loans = 10200$
rawrrr =[</p>

<p>@kaicosmoz: work study is a certain amount of money set aside for you to earn by working on a job on campus (e.g. the library, etc).</p>

<p>thanks, do you get to choose your job? iamawesome, thats to bad! My loans were only 4000, and my efc was 90 bucks. Are you out of state, or did you not apply for the pell grant and cal grant?</p>

<p>How can I find the interest rates on these loans?</p>
