Einstein financial aid question

I was told my FA package fromthem would be mailed to me this week. I'll let you know if I receive anything worth mentioning since my parents are in the same income bracket as yours.

 

From what I gathered from the Einstein packet they sent, you must complete the FAFSA for federal loans. Then you have to complete the CSS (College Student Survey) for institutional loans/grants. I also had to send my tax forms and my parents. Once AE receives all of the info, they start to compile your FA package. I called to check if all of my materials had been received and they told me that tuition would be set last Friday and packages would be mailed accordingly if you had mailed all of you info to them.

I had already completed my FAFSA with my parent's info, but still had to complete the CSS. Be careful though, the online version of CSS is not like FAFSA, there is not overriding key that will allow you to enter your parent's info, so you're better off doing the paper version.

Good luck

 

Yunfat and Dr. Kermit,
For the CSS/Financial Aid Profile, do we fill in our parent's information if we answered yes to the various questions (I answered 4 out of 6). I know that we send our parents' tax information to Einstein but wanted to check before filling out.
Thanks,
Droopy

 

I called Mr. Greenberg in the FA office and he said you are to complete it regardless of your independency and financial status. I hope that helps you out!

 

Thanks Dr. K, always coming through with the Einstein info. <img border="0" alt="[Clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" />
