<p>My community college is offering me a grant for 2150, and 1750 in student loans. I asked the counselor there if I could increase my loan amount to get the full 6500, or even 3250 for the semester, and then she said that I could complete a STUDENT LOAN REQUEST FORM for more money, but she wasn't sure they would give it to me b/c the school have a high default rate on loans currently. Can they do this? Can they not offer me the full amount in stafford loans?</p>
<p>Your financial aid will not more the COA of the school.</p>
<p>If COA of your school is $3900, then you won’t get anymore student loans.</p>

<p>here’s the website listing the cost, but the cost is nearly 11,000 a semester. With this being the case, can they limit my loan amounts?</p>
<p>Stedwards…
You can’t get FA at two different schools. You’re also trying to get aid at a university.</p>
<p>What is going on?</p>
<p>If I can’t go to St. Edwards, I’m going to go to Austin CC. So, I’m not trying to get financial aid form two universities.</p>
<p>To answer your original question, some colleges and universities whose default rates are too high have had restrictions imposed on them. That may be the situation at this CC. Ask the Fin Aid office to clarify it for you.</p>
<p>Are you a nonresident for Austin CC? The chart you show is COA for the whole year. CC make the most sense when you are a resident and can live at home.</p>
