Tuesday, August 12, 2008 @ 6:48 pm I checked the financial aid website this weekend and found that the school had placed a hold on my financial aid for exceeding my eligibility. Basically, what that means is that the financial aid office decided how much aid I should receive, and somehow, the aid I did receive exceeded that amount. Of course, this was news to me, since the last time I checked, I was right at my limit. So I made a phone call to the office directly and basically asked "WTF?" They replied that my tuition had been paid through a "foundation scholarship" and that they would deal with the hold internally, i.e. there was nothing I could personally do about resolving the hold. Foundation scholarship? What's that? Well, there was that scholarship I received from the Biology Department's Cell and Molecular Biology Program directly (which turned out not to be a scholarship after all due to litigation). If, somehow, the award were reverted to a scholarship, I'm positive the department would have contacted me directly, which did not happen. So, as far as I know, I'm still getting that faux-GA contract for $2850...but what of this foundation scholarship? The only thing I can think of is that it's a scholarship from the University itself, which is super-awesome. Basically, this new scholarship allows me to reduce the amount of loans I'm taking out this year, which is a load off my mind. The financial aid office cut my university grant out of the package, but I still came out a winner since the scholarship is more than the grant anyway. Needless to say, I'm thrilled about this. Hopefully the rest of the year will follow suit! 3 Comments. good on u! » renaye on 2008-08-12 10:12:59 Free money is great! Especially when it comes to paying for University fees. Congratulations on receiving that scholarship. » eroosterton on 2008-08-13 02:03:32 Yay, surprise money. :D » randomjunk on 2008-08-13 04:29:49
