<p>I was offered the maximum first year 1750/semester subsidized loan, but I don't think I want to take out that much. Is it possible to take out 1000/semester for example? Is this as simple as just calling the financial aid office, or do I have to do something else? Anybody else ever done this?</p>
<p>Yes.
At son’s school, there was form online that he accepted his loans each semester/year.
He could lower the amount of the Stafford he was accepting.
Does your school have something similar?
If not, just call FA. I’m sure you will be able to.</p>
<p>Yes, but remember that your fall semester bill will be due this summer so make sure you have the funds you’ll need by then!</p>
