<p>So lets say its December and your just started hearing back from schools and a few send you scholarships. </p>
<p>Then February comes along and you file your FAFSA report.</p>
<p>What happens next? Is is possible to receive additional scholarships/grants from those schools? Does it matter if they are public or private schools? In-state or out of state?</p>
<p>This will all vary from school to school. Just submit all of your financial aid application materials and then wait and see. </p>
<p>Typically the least amount of need based aid goes to out of state students at public universities. Those public universities usually fund their instate students FIRST with any state monies/grants, etc. </p>
<p>If you complete your applications and submit all of the materials meeting the deadlines, you should get your financial aid packages well in time to compare and make a matriculation decision by May 1.</p>
<p>Step 1 is not to wait unt Feb to file the FAFSA. File now. Use “will file” status and estimate the 2011 numbers. Get in the front of the line. </p>
<p>Update the FAFSA with actual 2011 numbers when taxes are filed. Do that ASAP.</p>

<p>File FAFSA asap…as mentioned above, use estimated 2011 numbers and “will file” to get in line.</p>
<p>That said, few OOS publics will give grants in addition to scholarships to OOS students…unless your EFC is soooo low that you qualify for a Pell grant (EFC would have to below about 5,000).</p>
<p>Some privates have institutional grants to give, some don’t. </p>
<p>also, check to see if any of your schools require CSS Profile.</p>
<p>What schools are you concerned about?</p>
<p>Thanks. not exactly concerned. just curious about some out of state schools like rutgers and drexel.</p>
<p>Rutgers isn’t likely going to give you anything after you fill out FAFSA except a student loan since it sounds like your family income is too high (father owns a business) and you’re OOS. </p>
<p>1930/1270 sat superscore and a 87.6 gpa</p>
<p>According to your other posts, your stats aren’t likely high enough to get much/any scholarships to Rutgers. Does Rutgers use “superscores” for scholarship determination?</p>
<p>Did you calculate your EFC?</p>
