[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar income, surprised that we needed to submit for possible merit. We filled out the CSS and submitted to several schools that asked for it. The FAFSA was only required at one school - Fordham - for NMSF scholarship. [/quote]

nope. mine got 28k per year merit-named-scholarship at Fordham, no FAFSA or CSS. Complete surprise merit award came a couple weeks after EA. [/quote]

Interesting, when we were at the Fordham open house this fall, they were very clear that students hoping for merit aid needed to submit the CSS and FAFSA.

I have submitted the CSS and intend to do the FAFSA this week. My income is not as high as the OPs but likely well above the threshold for financial aid -- but my income fluctuates as an independent consultant and if I were to lose (and be unable to replace) a key contract, we would probably be in FA territory. One of the schools DC applied to was very clear that if you anticipate needing financial aid at any point, you need to submit the CSS and FAFSA when DC applies for freshman admission. So between that and Fordham, I need to get it done![/quote]
