Whether you get need based aid in sophomore year and later, to help replace the Perkins loan, might depend on the FAFSA EFC. Did your parents earn more /less in 2016 compared to 2015?

Also if your scholarship covers future tuition/fees increases, they could say that you can borrow $1,000 more in sophomore year, and $2,000 more in junior/senior year.

But it would be helpful to clarify exactly what you can expect to receive in aid in the next few years.

Also, does anyone know if there is affordable student housing off campus around Syracuse U, you might then be able to save money on housing and food in later years.
