<p>Hello, beautiful people!</p>

<p>I am Cornell class of 2017 and have a question about its financial aid...</p>

<p>I don't have to pay anything but family contribution of $7700 (my contribution + parents contribution).</p>

<p>My parents and I can pay it really in tight plan </p>

<p>so I want to get a loan to have little bit of extra money that I can spend.</p>

<p>So,
I am planning to get a loan, but the school did not put loan in my financial aid award, so does that mean that I can't get a need-based loan aka direct subsidized loan and federal perkins loan?</p>

<p>Also, do you have any suggestion for other loan option?</p>

<p>Plz plz plz answer me!!</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Yup. You can’t get federal loans. What you would have gotten in federal loans, Cornell is covering for you in grants.</p>

<p>there are private student loans (unsubsidized) available that your family may be eligible for. Most banks/credit unions offer them, and typically require a parent to co-sign.</p>
