<p>this is for anyone knowledgeable with berkeley's financial aid system. thanks!</p>
<p>on fafsa i listed that i did not want to accept student loans</p>
<p>on the berkeley offer letter, several loans are listed as offered (but not accepted b/c i listed that i didn't want them on fafsa)</p>
<p>the amount of scholarship money i've received has well exceeded my work-study amount.</p>
<p>my question: will this money take away from the allotted loan amounts (even though i didn't accept) or will it it will now begin to take away from my berkeley aid?</p>
<p>if this is the case, would changing my fafsa to accept the student loans enable me to keep the scholarship money from getting to my berkeley aid?</p>
