Question

When will I know how much i received from Financial Aid?

Answer 1

You're informed after you get your letter of acceptance, though some financial aid letters come with the acceptance letters.  It depends on the school and when you applied and what kind of admissions they have.  You also have to have completed the FAFSA form.  But all schools expect you to be decided by May 1st or so, so they should come by mid-April.

Answer 2

It depends on if you have been accepted into your school of choice. My daughter received her award letter after she had been accepted in less than a month. Her fafsa was completed earlier.
