<p>Just received it and it reads a little different than what we've got from other schools. It includes the 2K National scholarship and and the usual unsubsidized Stafford loan of 3.5K. But in addition to 12K in a PLUS loan it includes a 7.5K SELF loan. What is a SELF and how is it different than a PLUS?
It also has our expected parent contribution at 26K and expected student contribution at 55K giving us a EFC of 81K and a financial need of -56K!? This makes no sense. I can see how they got the parent number (not that we have that kind of money) but where did they get the students number?

<p>That's a puzzler. Have you had time to ask the U by now?</p>
