<p>Please share if you know if/how much financial aid packages change over 4 years at Stanford!
I've looked on CC and I've ascertained that the expected student contribution will increase. ...average loans per year? I know that you CAN borrow more as a student in each increasing year...does that mean that I'm going to have 5500+7000+9000 in that area loans when I graduate? Or does the fact that I take out loans impact my "need"?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Stanford University eliminated loans from their financial aid package and will only decrease their financial aid if your parents make less money. They also give FA for a 5th year if you need to finish some classes.</p>
<p>I haven’t called the FA office yet so will post here. Does anyone know if Stanford “recognizes” a sibling in Grad school when calculating need? Their package for this year is OK but I’m concerned about how much their aid will decrease when S enters grad school in another year…</p>

<p>Did you mean if parents make more money?</p>
