i’m really frustrated about financial aid. I submitted my initial application to FIU in April and they said I had to wait until mid July to receive my package. Mid July came, and they kept stating the typical wait until next Fridays until now, the week before school and still no package. Then, they wanted me to do a verification to prove the authenticity of my application!! the deadline was on July 26…they sent me an email about it by July 28. plus, I was calling them consistently about it and they never even told me anything about the verification. I had to find out myself! so eventually, I emailed them about what’s going on and they’re staying how they never even received the verification despite me receiving an email about the verification being completed. This is super frustrating because I feel like FIU isn’t doing what they have to do on their end, and I also have to file a professional judgment because my mom passed away this July. I already spent 20K burying my mom, and I don’t have any more funds to pay tuition by September 2nd. What do I even do at this point?
