I’m planning on applying for an entrance bursary as a US high school student and noticed that it expects you to max out US loans. I’m planning on maxing out my requirement for subsidized loans since I qualify, can’t get PLUS loans, and unsubsidized loans are what I’m trying to avoid. The bursary application is due 30 days after your acceptance letter, and I can’t apply for loans within that time period, so if I tell them I’m maxing out subsidized loans and asking for like $4k USD, will I have a chance of getting them if the other portions of my application are strong? A bursary would make sure I can cover my first year without any more student loans. My estimated contribution on the FAFSA was $911, CSS didn’t supply one when I submitted so that’s the financial information I have. I’m in a single-parent household making $60k a year with a sister in private schooling for a disability.
You need to call admissions or financial aid. They may require that you max out the student’s federal loans, subsidized and unsubsidized, but not the PLUS loans. That would be about $5500 first year. Are you a dual citizen?
No, I’m just a US citizen.
