<p>DS applied for and was accepted to the Summer term of 2012. This school considers summer term a trailing year for 2011/2012, so he has filled out the FAFSA for both 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. </p>
<p>My question is regarding Stafford loans-everything I have seen indicates that freshman can get $5500.00 , sophomores $6500.00, etc.</p>
<p>If this summer trails 2011/2012, would he be eligible for 5500.00 for the summer term? </p>
<p>What does that mean for fall, which is under a different FAFSA, but he will still be a freshman? </p>
<p>I don't want him to come up short somewhere later down the line. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
