<p>How do you know when you qualify for a subsidized stafford at an out of state, public school? Does it even matter if the school were private, vs. public?</p>
<p>It says on the financial aid notification you get from the school.</p>
<p>rlm, what I meant to ask is if there is some kind of math formula that determines if you qualify for a subsidized stafford? My son qualified at some schools for this. At one school he even qualified for a Perkins. At some schools he did not qualify for the subsidized stafford at all, and at some schools they split some money-some of it subsidized, and some unsubsidized.</p>
<p>oh, sorry, that I do not know. The first 2 years my son was at an OOS public he only received an unsubsidized stafford. His third year my daughter started at an OOS private college and my son’s efc dropped and that year his finaid notification included a subsidized stafford which helped.</p>
<p>rlm, thanks anyway. Does anyone know?</p>

<p>Then you have to check into the esoterics of each college.</p>
