I just got my son’s FA for his junior year at NYU. They only have him down for $940 in work study. Last year it was nearly 4K. I’m going to call the FA office on monday in the hopes of getting the 2k unsubsidized stafford loan moved into the work study column. Other than that, I’m thrilled with his FA award. Still got his perkins loan and they increased his scholarship amount by 2K. I’m trying to limit his borrowing to 5500 subsidized stafford and 2400 perkins. I also know he worked ALOT of work study in 2008-09 and I want him to have more than $940 available this coming year.
