When did you recieve your financial aid package?

[Neep]

I was accepted int WVU on April 1st for a Fall 2019 start. The letter said financial aid and student account info would be soon be sent. It has been almost one month now. Is that normal? When can i expectnto recieve my financial aid package? When did you recieve yours?

I’m going to CUNY, but I received my offer in 2 parts. I interviewed on Feb 22, and was offered a position I believe on Feb 25/26. I received a letter postdated Feb 27 for my fellowship (broken into two scholarship chunks for fall and spring, biweekly grad assistant stipend for rotations, and my tuition award). Then on Mar 27 I was offered an additional fellowship.

For actual acceptance of the award? I was told I would receive word on how to accept the package in May. I believe your situation is totally normal and you might not get any information until the summer. My understanding is they don’t do payouts until the very beginning of the semester, which can make it hard to get established beforehand. 

Edit: also, congratulations and good luck!
