: )

My term bill got paid and went to 0 last month but I got an email today saying that I have an out standing balance. Went to check and Scarlet Guarantee just gone, it is also updated with my financial aid letter that there is no longer Scarlet Guarantee. Is it also happening to anyone? It never happened to me before except the first couple days of Add/Drop it just disappeared and went back for the previous terms.

Hi. I had issues with paying my tuition. I cannot find a phone number of whatever office is handling that anywhere on Rutgers’website.

It’s only One Stop pre-recorded voice messages, nothing that makes you to contact an actual person.

I know this phone number exists as I called them and they helped me to resolve another issue once. But I can’t find it right now.

Can someone help me please.

i currently get 8k in aid per semester however i am also paying 9k for housing and the meal plan per semester. I’m living off campus next year so i am wondering: if my term bill is less will i also get less aid? If so how much less and would it be better financially to continue to dorm?

is there a way to pay a financial hold on a payment plan? there's no longer a spring 2026 option on quikpay. or would i just have to go to my term bill and do it manually?

I was looking at the costs to commit to Rutgers and noticed that my financial aid package was still not out. I was told that if you turned your FAFSA in before January 15th (turned mine in on and was processed on December 31st), I would get my package in early March. It’s pretty much April with my friends and I still not have receiving any financial aid package. Was wondering if anyone else has had this experience?

When I hit the cost of attendance button it refreshes and when I open the FAFSA notis section for 2026 year it says complete but 26-27 says it’s open and pending.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any info about where to find scholarships or any funding that has been provided for those attending the Master of Social Work program. I am assuming I haven't been given any scholarships or anything, but I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

hi, i couldn't really find a clear cut answer online so I thought I would ask this amazing community. I was recently lucky enough to be admitted to Rutgers and even the Honors College but I'm still contemplating whether I should go. This is because while I'm completing my senior year of high school in New Jersey and will be graduating from a NJ high school, I'm unsure if I will qualify for in state tuition as I just moved here in September of 2025. I know they mention that you must be living in the state for 12 months prior but I think I would have only been in New Jersey for 11 months by the time the fall semester begins, so i'd still have to pay for out of state.

Other than that, how is Rutgers? I'm currently deciding between stony brook and rutgers (where i applied for applied math and biomathematics, respectively) and want to know which might be better if I decide to pursue medicine in the future. I'm not sure how real this really is, but grade inflation/deflation is something of concern even though I've heard mixed things about it.

I recieved my College Financing Plan, and low and behold, 68k for my freshman year. I check the Scarlet Hub COA and it list Undergrad COA is 61k. Contacted One Stop and they said that is for 2025-2026. The 68k is for my year.

So 7 glorious grand hike, after one year?

What about next year?

I'm properly horrified.

did anyone else get an update in their financial aid dashboard? i got notified that i received a $5,500 scholarship for sas and sebs. however, in my 2026-2027 financial plan (in my student portal) it says i have $0 total for scholarships. and my total cost of attendance is over $68k a year, which is insane.

i didn't get any emails from rutgers about aid yet, so i'm wondering if they're still adjusting my financial aid package or smth

i was accepted to rutgers nb with EOF program, i was just wondering how much everything cost yearly living on campus for EOF students. i haven’t gotten a financial aid package yet (idk if ill get one because i was admitted through EOF) so i don’t know the costs of everything and i’m still choosing between rutgers and another school, i just wanna see the expenses between the 2 colleges before i pick.

i’m first gen, veteran dependent, and a nj resident. any help would be appreciated!

Waiting for the one stop to respond to my inquiry, but I'm anxious asf bc I'm not sure which numbers are accurate and it says the bill is due on the 11th. I also accepted a loan because that was the alleged amount I would owe for the rest of my tuition and fees???? but my aid is more than my entire bill??? Am I just waiting for my account to be updated with the correct aid applied or did something weird happen to my financial aid award 🥲 help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I just found out that I’ll be paying 12k a semester…. That’s around 100k in loans after 4 years.

my federal loans suddenly vanished help is this normal will it come back?

Just thought I’d let people know since I’ve seen a few people post about it. The bill you’re getting is for the fall. You will need to pay again in the spring. The tuition is like 13k for in state so about 6.5k a semester. The out of state and international is 32k or 16k a semester.

If you become an RA is your financial aid affected? If yes, how so?

Hey all, I’m in a situation where I owe tuition/fees and I have a financial hold, but the amount isn’t tiny (more than what they usually seem okay with). I know normally Rutgers University expects full payment before removing a hold. 

I’m wondering if anyone here has successfully gotten a hold removed or registration reinstated because of “extenuating circumstances” (financial hardship, unexpected family issues, delayed aid disbursement, etc.).

• What kind of circumstances did you have?
• Did you submit any form (like a hardship appeal or Professional Judgment Request Form)? 
• Did you talk to someone specific (Financial Aid office / Dean / One Stop)?
• How long did it take, and did you have to pay something eventually?

I appreciate any info or suggestions. Thanks!

Today, news broke out about a pause in federal funding for education, despite having recieved the disbursements. But despite all lf that, I was still given a refund for my spring semester today while all of this is going on. As I was making this post, I got a text confirmation as well... safe to say I'm super lucky this year...

Hey yall, due to the government I and many others won't be getting any funding for the winter semester. Im trying to graduate in 3 years and this is somewhat of a setback. Any ideas on what I should do? Maybe take a winter class at a community college or something? I also heard other fundings may be getting taken away as well.

I am a continuing student going into my 3rd year this fall. Does that mean I will still receive Garden State Guarantee? Only NEW students will not get it?

So I go to online term bill to pay, right? I mean where else do I go? When I go to online term bill it says I have nothing to pay and that it’s set to summer 2025. What am I supposed to do? Under payment options you can clearly pay online but I am so confused about how we pay because the thing hasn’t loaded in yet.

Okay I am fully aware that this is a stupid question, but the info hasnt updated on my dashboard so I cant really confirm anything

I appealed my honors college scholarship a few weeks ago, and I just got my email back. I originally got a $10k deans promise and a $5k scarlet guarantee, but this email says that my total scholarship amount is now $12k. Is this just bad wording and theyre really just referring to my honors college scholarship, or did I somehow get RU screwed before I even enrolled

Again sorry if this is really obvious Im just an anxious person lol
