If I don’t take out the unsubsidized loan, do you know of any place (bank?) that give out loan that don’t charge interest while you are in school?
I am officially graduating June 2011 and will be starting college August 2011.
My first choice is University of San Francisco (not UCSF, its a private Jesuit school), so hopefully I will end up there.
Will they cut a lot? Is it possible to only receive half of what you received the previous year.
USF was very generous ans gave me about 31 k in grants and scholarship and gave me about 7500 in loan (2000 is unsubsidized) and 4000 work study. With this aid, I can afford to attend USF, but if they cut my aid in half next year, then I won’t be able to afford USF and that will be a very big problem.
