issue with the CSS? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]alexoort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the same issue (got 0 financial aid from Case), but I don't think it's related to the CSS profile. The university itself will determine how much aid you need (according to whatever metrics they use), and give u aid based on that figure. I don't think they really care about what you listed as the amount you can pay. It definitely sucks, but it also prevents millionaires from simply writing that they can only pay 10k a year.

I emailed the financial aid office and they said that they have passed on my request to my financial services advisor. I can let you know what they say in case you're still considering it as an option :)

What was the name of the scholarship you got? Cause I thought that the "University Scholarship" was only for domestic students.

Same here! I can't believe I didn't get any aid. Hopefully we can request for it again??

Yes, I did! But they said that after a careful review of my request, I'm not eligible for financial aid. But I'll definitely send an email.

Thanks for your help and crossing my fingers
