There’s the issue. It’s putting in a 9500 loan as an independent, but as a junior, you’ll qualify for $12,500

That said…
Estimated total cost of attendance: $25,986

Where will the rest of the money that you need come from?

You’ll have 12,500 from loans, and about $5700 from Pell…that’s about $18k…and I don’t think that counts health insurance…and it doesn’t count summer expenses.

Do you work full time over summers? Do you work during the school year?
