Clarification

The aid offer you are receiving for summer session, is only for summer. You will get another award offer for fall, winter and spring quarters. In general, the maximum you can get in low interest loans for summer is approximately $15,000 and the maximum you can get in low interest loans for fall, winter and spring is approximately $20,000 (divided between the three quarters). If you need more funding, you can apply for Grad+ loans but these have higher interest rates.
