<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am transferring to one of the SUNY’s from another, and I habe 31 credit hours. Yet, I only recieved the 2,625 for my Stafford loan even though I will be a somphmore in the fall. Should I appeal my award, or does transferring entitles me to only the amount given to first year students.</p>
<p>Probably best thing to do is call the new school and ask. It does seem logical that your sophomore status entitles you to the larger loan amount, without regard to your transfer status, but what we think here is not as important as what the school says. If you are just looking for someone to say “yeah that makes sense, make the call,” you got it.</p>
