Of course. Have you applied to several schools?
No, at least not yet.
What if I listed a school on my application for student aid?
Then you might get a tentative aid offer from a school and then find that it changes later.
I see. And what if I have any questions or don't understand what's included in the aid offer?
Simply contact the financial aid office at the school. They re there to help ! It's important to understand what you're being offered e.g. , which items in the offer are grants and which are loans.
What else does my aid offer include?
Your aid offer might include student loans, so it's important for you to compare the amount of debt you would be taking on at the schools you are considering.
Interesting. And what should I do if I need to take out a larger amount in private loans at one school than at another?
