<p>I would ask for a simple change from all colleges. Don’t call it an “awards” letter if all that is listed on the letter is the opportunity to take out loans.</p>
<p>Maybe call it a “financial aid possibilities” letter.</p>
<p>@ptc - the nomenclature feels misleading</p>
<p>we think of this definition of award:
give or order the giving of (something) as an official payment, compensation, or prize to (someone) </p>
<p>But, the other definition of ‘award’ is simply: grant or assign (a contract or commission) to (a person or organization).</p>
