They don’t. It’s not true. What they will do, only if you are receiving a subsidized Stafford Loan, is increase it to the maximum ($5,500) in your last two years. But since cost of attendance will have gone up as well, if your parents’ income/assets don’t change, neither will their costs.

AU is explicitly reducing the amount they give in merit aid, and increasing the amounts they give in need-based aid.
