beajae Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hey All, Is anyone familiar with ASU's financial aid department policies? I have been told that to even receive a financial aid offering I must first register for classes (in order to register for classes, I must submit immunization records). I think that's an unusual and a bit backwards policy. I haven't decided if I will attend ASU. Financial aid offerings are a big factor in my final decision, as is the case with many applicants. Also, I don't feel completely comfortable sending shot records to a place I'm not positive I'm attending. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlausca44445 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Awwww mannn I hope that's not true. I just got my acceptance to ASU at the end of last week and was planning on emailing the dept. soon to ask about funding awards. If you have to accept to even be considered...WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beajae Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Yes, it's pretty backwards. Now, when you say email the department, are you referring to the fin aid department or the program department? I was told the above by fin aid representatives.

ashlausca44445 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've been emailing departments directly because ultimately they are the ones who decide to give you funding...i.e. assistantships, scholarships, etc. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beajae Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Yes, that is true. I'm referring to the aid that is offered via the fin aid office as a result of completing the FAFSA. Some schools award need-based scholarships (even at the graduate level) based on FAFSA information. Good Luck!

GGT Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Is FAFSA for domestic students only? BTW, have you guys heard anything about funding from ASU department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
