Hi @ordinarylives. I agree that some letters are clear. But I have a whole stack of them from a financial aid adviser, and many are incredibly confusing. Some do differentiate loans from aid, but often they are bundled together as aid, and that can be misleading, or at least confusing to some, especially first gen students for whom English is a second language. But even a group of students I showed them to – all of whom are smart, educated and speak native English- felt confused.
