Insufficient Financial Aid Award

Post by ebailey1212 » Fri Apr 08, 2016 4:41 pm

I recently received an award notice (Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan) that is insufficient to cover both my tuition and living expenses over the next year. What should I do?

Are you talking about the Stafford loan? The max you (or anyone) can get for that is 20.5k per year, I believe. The rest has to come from GRAD Plus loans or another type of loan.
