spring transfer- half stafford amount or full

<p>So after two and a half years at Austin Community College, I am finally transferring to St.Edwards this Spring of 2013. Now, I met with a financial aid counselor at St. Eds, and we were going over my financial aid package for the spring. In my package, she included 3,250 in Stafford loans (half of the 6500 I qualify this year, because I already missed the fall semester. My question is, is there anyway I can take out the full 6500 for the spring semester? I qualified for FA this year, but I had to do a verification and a appeal at the community college, so I never ended up getting the loan on time. But since the Spring is still part of the year, I want to know if I can get the full year’s Stafford loan in the Spring. Thank you!</p>

<p>(I don’t know if this matters, but this year is the first year I’ve qualified for any aid, and I have never received anything before)</p>
