<p>Okay, so my award letter says that I’m getting $19,200 including loans and grants…what about the rest of the costs?..Am i supposed to take out other loans elsewhere? How does this work? Soo clueless…</p>
<p>Pretty much. You can either take out a loan on your own or find a way to get outside scholarships.</p>
<p>The loans you received are probably state loans, Stafford Sub/Unsub loans or another form of public loan. BU expects that you meet the other $30,000 either by pocket, private loans, outside scholarship, or by any other means (theft or fraud not recommended).</p>
<p>You can appeal for more financial aid by sending a letter of appeal to the financial aid office and sending a copy of your parents federal tax return.</p>
