Different fed. loan ammounts at different schools? HELP

Paying for College
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I have noticed that I got different ammounts of the federal loans at two of my schools. In one school I am receiving a greater ammount for my Perkins loan.</p>

<p>Is this a mistake (since it is something that the government assigns) or is it based on each school's FA department?</p>

<p>Your Perkins Loan will depend on your financial need and the availability of funds at your college. See <a href=“http://studentaid.ed.gov/types/loans/perkins”>http://studentaid.ed.gov/types/loans/perkins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
