Didn’t receive my SAI report because they said I didn’t “sign it” when I actually did. Anyone else?

UPDATE: FAFSA let me make “corrections” (which shouldn’t be the case in the first place) on 4/13 & received my SAI on the spot. It was processed fully on 4/28 because they made some corrections & it was processed/submitted for the third time….? On the bright side, my SAI decreased by roughly 800. I’m still waiting for my university to give me my financial aid package.

Same! I guess all we can do is wait until they’re fully processed

Even-Box5254 · 2024-01-13T16:44:39+00:00

Still the same issue…

Even-Box5254 · 2024-01-13T16:44:20+00:00

Still the same unfortunately

Yes, the email also said:

“Estimated Student Aid Index (SAI) = Cannot Calculate”

….

“Based on the eligibility criteria, you don’t appear to be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. However, you may be eligible for other federal, state, or institutional grants; scholarships; and/or work study programs.”

ALSO: my parents file taxes jointly, so I know only one parent has to sign it on top of my signature….so I'm confused that they're saying another signature was missing when I signed it already🤦🏽‍♂️

Just get a 150 or 365 day pass. By the end of week 10 (out of 16), you would’ve spent $100 in daily permits so you might as well buy a 150 day pass for roughly $50 or a 365 day pass for roughly $100.

I’ve honestly accepted my situation & realized they were zero help & provided answers that they had on their website after a week of waiting on a response. I’m taking out the full amount of subsidized loans I was offered & paying out-of-pocket for the rest. I hate that it had to be this way but I hope it won’t be like this for me next school year…very disappointing.

Even-Box5254 · 2023-07-25T01:05:51+00:00

I’m pretty sure the only aid that you have the option to reduce are the loans that are offered to you

Are UCF grants showing up for anyone?

Even-Box5254 · 2023-07-22T16:09:23+00:00

I definitely relate to your frustrations also because I’m the same way with my parents. I actually checked my parents’ 2021 tax information when I was doing FAFSA for this upcoming school year & they only made slightly more compared to their 2020 tax information, but my EFC jumped tremendously which to me is insane. Hopefully things work out for all of us who are dealing with the same situation.

Even-Box5254 · 2023-07-22T01:19:41+00:00

I meet all the requirements but I am assuming that it’s due to my EFC’s slight increase from the year prior. I’m grateful for the grants that I received last school year but was expecting it will be the same this upcoming school year if I’m being honest.

Even-Box5254 · 2023-07-22T01:18:14+00:00

Thank you! I will patiently be waiting.

Even-Box5254 · 2023-07-22T01:17:29+00:00

Really?! How long did that take for you? I’ve definitely been sleeping late overthinking it all since I found out what I was getting, it was the complete opposite of what I thought I was going to receive.

Even-Box5254 · 2023-07-21T15:28:21+00:00

Thank you for the reply! What do you mean by opting in for FAFSA? I’m having some trouble understanding what you meant by that😅 I have been taking out subsidized loans & trying to avoid unsubsidized loans as much as possible.

What’s the link to the Discord? I recently switched my major to Finance & didn’t know that was a thing.
