When will I get my Award Letter?

Paying for College

<p>I submitted all my verification papers, and my online account shows this:</p>

<p><a href=“http://i32.■■■■■■■.com/330429j.jpg[/url]”>http://i32.■■■■■■■.com/330429j.jpg&lt;/a&gt; (It’s a screenshot)</p>

<p>So what does “Established” mean anyway? And when will they send it to me? (On my past years it says “Sent” as a status.).</p>

<p>Any help will be greatly appreciated :D</p>

<p>Call the school and ask them.</p>

<p>Consider calling them, seriously. If they’ve lost a document or something – which happened to me once – it can be a major frustration if you wait until you need the financial aid information before you actually get it.</p>

<p>It looks to me like everything got finished up at the end of June when you submitted your asset value form. I am willing to bet you were asked for that after everything else, when they initially tried to verify you & found out that it was needed. You should have an “actual” rather than an “estimated” award package now. The “established” date is either the date your original award letter was created (if you have already been packaged with ESTIMATED aid) or the date your FAFSA was received by the school (if you have not yet been packaged). You have to realize that awards are only estimated until verification is complete - they can change as a result of verification. I am sure that if you look at your student financial aid account, you will be able to find out if your awards have changed and if they are now “actual.”</p>
