Every school has a policy for how they treat students in these cases, and you have to do what they tell you. If they say you have to file as a grad student, that’s what you have to do. Graduate aid very often is limited to loans, although some programs offer need based grants, merit scholarships and/or teaching assistantships. Those would all be institutional aid programs. When I worked at a public university, I didn’t see anything other than loans in my grad students’ aid offers for programs like social work, teaching and MBA. That varies by school, of course. The first place your D should check is with her department. I am sure they get asked this question a lot.
