Hey everyone! I'm looking at LIU Post as one of my college options, and I was wondering if anyone could share their experience with their financial aid office. Are they helpful? What kind of aid packages have you received? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! While I can't speak from personal experience, I can share some general information and what I've heard from other students regarding financial aid at LIU Post.
Many students have reported that the financial aid office is generally helpful and responsive. They're usually willing to answer questions and assist with the financial aid application process. However, as with any college financial aid office, experiences can vary depending on individual circumstances and interactions with staff members.
In terms of aid packages, LIU Post offers both need-based and merit-based scholarships. Need-based grants and federal aid can be obtained by completing the FAFSA, which will generate your Student Aid Index (SAI). This number will help LIU Post determine your financial need and eligibility for aid. Merit-based scholarships are awarded based on your academic achievements, and you'll automatically be considered for these when you apply for admission.
Additionally, LIU Post has some program-specific scholarships available for the students enrolled in certain fields of study. You can explore their website or contact the financial aid office directly for more information on these opportunities.
It's also important to seek out outside scholarships which can be used to fund your education at LIU Post. Websites like CollegeVine, Fastweb, and Cappex are great resources to find external scholarships that match your profile and interests.
Don't forget to use LIU Post's Net Price Calculator available on their website to get an estimate of the financial aid package you might receive, keeping in mind that it's only an estimate and actual offers may differ.
Good luck with your college search, and I hope you find an opportunity at LIU Post that fits your financial needs!
