So I have been approved for a loan, however, I have been denied by the school to receive the funds. Isnt there something I can do?
Hey Kyle! That sounds frustrating. Can you share why the school denied the funds? This will help me understand your situation better.
They claim that I would exceed the cost of attendance budget. But isnt that just an estimate? how can the school determine how much debt I am taking on? Im going to be the one to take it back
Hey Kyle! That does sound frustrating. Here are some general points about financial aid and cost of attendance:
- Cost of Attendance (COA): Schools set a budget for the total cost of attending, including tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and personal expenses.
- Financial Aid Limits: Federal regulations state that a student's total financial aid (including loans) cannot exceed the COA.
- Appeal Process: You can appeal the decision with your school's financial aid office, providing documentation to justify why you need more funds.

do these rules apply to private loans and private universities?

Hey Kyle, the federal regulations mentioned primarily apply to federal student aid programs. Private loans and private universities may have their own policies, but they often follow similar guidelines to ensure financial aid does not exceed the cost of attendance. Have you checked if your private loan lender has specific rules regarding this?

So technically, becuase my situation involved private lenders and a private institution, I can legally recieve loan money that exceeds the cost of attendance, correct?

Hi Kyle! While federal regulations set limits on financial aid, including loans, not exceeding the cost of attendance, private lenders and institutions may have different policies. Generally, they follow similar guidelines to not exceed the COA. It's best to confirm directly with your private lender and school.
Do you have any specific documentation from your lender or school regarding their policies?

I spoke with a representative, however, I do not think it is fair for private entity to be so restrictive with much money I can have access to.

- Consult a Financial Advisor: They can provide personalized advice based on your financial situation.
- Explore Other Funding Options: Look into scholarships, grants, or part-time work to supplement your financial needs.
