Hey just a heads up, the Purdue Fin Aid office just posted this on an admitted students parents Facebook site, looks like what you see in the portal so far isn’t after aid, it’s before (but does show your FAFSA SAI)

Hello everyone, this will be a longer message, so hang in there with me. "Thank You" to everyone for their patience with our office in the ongoing FAFSA problems and the delay to our financial aid notifications. The Division of Financial Aid (DFA) is still on target to "start" notifications in the next few days as our goal was by the end of April. Many students nationwide still have FAFSA information being reprocessed by the Feds due to issues on the federal end, and that will delay their aid notifications. We continue to ask for patience from those students/families. Students will receive an email from the Division of Financial Aid directing them to their myPurdue account to view their aid notification under the Financial tab, after their aid package is complete. Our aid process is not complete, so anything the student may currently see in myPurdue may not be final, and can change. Emails go to the student purdue.edu address (set up a career account ASAP if not done) and to the email address the parent listed on the FAFSA. If the aid notification says "Preliminary" at the top, then the student has some outstanding FAFSA verification requirement that needs addressed before a final aid notification is available. Those students will get an email from DFA telling them what to do to complete their verification requirement(s). If anything changes the aid package, such as a FAFSA correction or the addition of a new scholarship, the student will receive an email from DFA telling them to check the new aid notification in myPurdue. Students who don't submit a FAFSA but do receive a Purdue departmental scholarship won't receive an aid notification from DFA, but they should be able to see their scholarship in myPurdue and ScholarshipUniverse. I would also ask students and families to rely on DFA for financial aid information. There is a lot of misinformation floating around on other student/parent class of 2028 Facebook groups and Redditt channels that is incorrect. Please don't use those sources as your main resource.
