我申的MLA。
前段时间看到有同学也说收到这类的email，大概就是把如何申请的流程详细说了一遍，附带链接还有个人登录名密码之类的信息。

片段如下：
Below you will find instructions on how to access the University of Virginia Financial Aid application.  If you would like an estimate of your financial aid before you are expected to accept our offer to the School of Architecture, you should complete the FAFSA online (www.fafsa.ed.gov) and the University of Virginia Financial Aid application by February 15, 2009; therefore please apply for federal financial aid while you are waiting for our admissions decision.  You may apply for financial aid after February 15, but we cannot guarantee that we can provide you with a financial aid estimate in a timely manner if you have not completed the two applications by mid February.  (For more information on how to complete the FAFSA online, please review the e-mail sent from Erica Spangler on January 6, 2009 or January 20, 2009.)

NOTE: All international students who would like to apply for federal financial aid should first check their eligibility to apply for federal financial aid by reviewing the information listed on the University Student Financial Services website: http://www.virginia.edu/financialaid/eligible.php.

To complete the University of Virginia Financial Aid Application, you must first access your U. Va. Student Center account online, which you may do by following the instructions below.

看过红色的那个链接，觉得好像不符合他的eligibility，

开头是Students must meet all eligibility requirements described here to be considered for any Title IV federal financial aid programs and need-based aid assistance from the University.

然后下面好几点，其中两个是：
1. Be a U.S. Citizen or an Eligible Non-Citizen
Students must be United States citizens or classified as eligible non-citizens in order to be eligible for federal, state, and University financial assistance. Students must fit one of the following categories in order to be considered eligible non-citizens:
    1）Citizen not born in United States
        * Certificate of Citizenship: (Must have student's name, certificate number and the date the certificate was issued.)
        * Certificate of Naturalization: ( Must have student's name, certificate number, Alien Registration Number, name of the court and the date where naturalization occurred.)
        * Certificate of Birth Abroad : (Must have embossed seal 'Untied States of America" and "State Department".
        * U.S. Passport
    2）Non-citizen National
        * U.S. Passport (Must be stamped "Non-citizen National")
    3）Permanent Resident
        * "Permanent Resident Card"(Form I-551), or the "Alien Registration Receipt Card"(Form I-151)
        * Foreign Passport (Must be stamped"processed for I-551" with expiration date.)
        * I-94 (Must be stamped "Processed for I-551 with expiration date, or Temporary Form I-551," with appropriate information filled in.)
2. Have a Valid Social Security Number
Students must have a valid Social Security number to receive financial aid. Exceptions to this rule are students from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, or the Republic of Palau.

这两点我们国内的学生明显就没有啊，发信给小秘问是不是就不用申了还没回，问一下大家怎么处理的，是就不用管了吗？

University financial assistance可能可以。其他的不行。

加一句，所有学校的Federal Financial Aid，非美国籍或者手持美国绿卡者都申不了。

哭啊～～本来以为能碰个小奖的...

直接pass 掉..只要出现fafsa就没戏啦~~而且他后面的eligibility就是想说明我们这种international students可以直接neglect掉~

再给大家贴个uva的financial aid 的消息，小米给我关于 ta和奖 问题的答复：

Please note that we do allow our graduate students to be teaching and research assistants or accept wage positions within the University; however, we prefer that those students be eligible for federal Work Study, as 70% of the funding for the jobs is paid by the federal government. If you admitted as an international student, you may not be eligible to receive this type of funding. It is still possible to be a teaching or research assistant for our faculty members, but that would be contingent upon how much money the department can afford to pay from its budget.
