<p>Does anyone know how hard it is too appeal for an additional loan? As of now, my package has a $3500 sub loan and a $1000 perkins loan. Can I appeal and get the $2000 additional unsub loan too?</p>
<p>Call the financial aid office.</p>
<p>You should be able to get the additional 2K in unsub loans without an “appeal” – you should be able to just request it.</p>
<p>Thank you! Also, can anyone apply for parent plus loan or is that at the schools discretion?</p>
<p>You have to go through the school, as they have to certify the amount (basically you can’t take a loan for more than COA - aid package). But I don’t think they would have any reason not to let you apply – they want you to get the money somewhere and pay them.</p>
<p>But… you (and your parents) should be very careful about the amount of loans you are taking out. Taking $6500 yourself each year plus more for your parents sounds like you may be looking at a school that you can’t really afford.</p>
