Award letter
A school's written statement of the financial aid it is offering an admitted student, sometimes part of the admission letter.
Why it matters
Read it for what kind of aid it is, what it covers, what your family still pays, the conditions attached and whether it continues next year. Ask for anything unclear in writing.
Who decides
The school's financial aid office issues it.
Not sure what this means for your child?
A GESP consultant can explain the term in the context of your family's own plan.
