“… Perhaps most problematic is the rampant jargon and confusing language in the letters. For example, uAspire and New America found 454 letters that offered ‘Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans’— loans that have interest accumulating while a student is in school. Even though federal loans are common to every school, the groups found 143 unique titles for how the loans appeared in financial aid offers.” …
Yup. Which is why I recommend that students run their aid offers through the Award Letter calculator from FinAid.org
