That’s a very good point Calmom about how award letters are written. Each school has their own presentation and it can be confusing. I recently saw the award package of a friend’s son and it was just as you described with huge PLUS loans in the mix like they didn’t even have to pay anything at all upfront. This was a kid with a Pell grant so they were lower income to start with so the whole thing was very ill-advised. Not NYU but a state school, still too much debt. You have to get to the bottom line on these awards and that can be difficult for those new to the game.
