It’s not unusual to get an FA award by snail mail. that said, it sounds like this student is also looking online.

To the OP…

What is now missing from the aid package?

Is this a CSS Profile school? Does your D have a non-custodial parent? Was the NCP info required? If so, then your computations on the school’s website wouldn’t have been accurate because those don’t often compute the aid/family contribution when there are two households responsible.

Have you recently filed your real tax returns (therefore a revision may have occured)? (or if there is a NCP, maybe he recently completed his tax returns.)

What was your FAFSA EFC? Check online to see if that got adjusted.

Do you have a lot of home equity (if this is a CSS school)?

Does your D have a college fund?
