Stafford Unsubsidized Loan

Quick question: We received offers from schools with only the unsubsidized loan (understandable considering assests) but the school my daughter chose to attend just now sent their “no need” letter. If we qualified for the unsubsidized stafford at her other accepted schools, shouldn’t we have qualified at this one? I’m new to all of this and just can’t figure out the difference between schools since this is a federal program. I called finaid and he sounded a bit flustered about the whole federal issue and told us to “appeal” (he was trying to be helpful but really couldn’t figure this one out on the phone). Anyone know? Thanks!
