Financial Aid Award Status
So... the first big bunch of financial aid awards have gone out to admitted students, and we continue to work on awards on a rolling basis. If you haven't heard anything yet, don't worry- it shouldn't be much longer!
Now would be the time to get your tax documents in to our office. As a general rule, we need signed copies of your 2005 federal income tax return (1040, Schedules, W-2 forms) and your parents' 2005 federal income tax return (1040, Schedules, W-2 forms). If you did not work or did not file a tax return for 2005, we have a form that we call the Student/Spouse Affidavit of 2005 Income that should be completed and submitted in lieu of a tax return. Remember, your financial aid awards is considered "pending" until we receive and review these required documents.
As we complete the financial aid awards, they will be posted in your briefCase. We are also sending paper copies of the awards as well. briefCase is your online financial aid office. You probably already know briefCase as the site where you can complete our online financial aid form and receive a provisional financial aid award. Other features include: a section devoted to your application status, a work-study earnings report, and a place where you can check-out your tuition account balance.
Of course, for as much information as briefCase gives, you are always welcome to contact our office with any questions that you have.
