What Does My College Financial Aid Award Letter Mean? Are you trying to understand what your college financial aid award letter actually means? In this video, we break down the key components of your financial aid award letter to help you make informed decisions about college affordability. We start by explaining what the total cost of attendance includes—covering tuition, housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses—and how this figure sets the stage for understanding your financial plan. We discuss the different types of aid listed, such as grants and scholarships, which do not need to be repaid, as well as federal work-study programs that allow you to earn money while in school. The video also covers loans, including the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized options, and what parent PLUS loans are. We guide you through understanding the net price or out-of-pocket cost—what your family will actually need to pay after gift aid—and why this number is essential for planning your finances. Additionally, we highlight the importance of checking if your aid is renewable each year, loan limits, and interest rates. We also share tips on comparing aid packages from different schools and considering additional costs like transportation and supplies. Knowing how to interpret your award letter helps you choose the best college fit and develop a clear financial strategy for your college years. Watch now to make your college journey smoother and less stressful.
