<p>I'll try to be as clear as possible. I just started my first semester at my local community college. I have applied for fafsa and tap, which covered my tuition and when I went to take out a stafford loan I only received a small portion of what I asked for as my expected living cost. I am married and have a 1 year old son. I received a subsidized loan. Can I reapply for an unsubsidized stafford for the remaining that I will need or am I stuck with what I was given and just have to eat the rest with out of pocket money? I won't be working and we have to stay ontop of rent and utilities. Travel and food too. What are my options? If it helps my efc was 00000.</p>
<p>What is the school’s COA? Total aid cannot exceed the school’s COA.</p>
