Specific questions about the Obama program should be directed to financial aid offices. The only thing I’ve heard is that if you are in the “Obama Scholar program” you should have grants and subsidized loans to cover the “basic” cost of attendance they pay for. Basic means the package they should outline on the letters you get if you are in the program - if you’re on a more expensive meal plan/dorm room, they will try to find more subsidized funding, grants, etc. but sometimes they might just have to offer other loans.

If you aren’t in the Obama Scholars program, there are grants they are offering. For the 2010-2011 year, I noticed (from a friend’s package that had an EFC of 0) there were more grants for undergrads not in the Obama program.
