<p>^^ How else is the school going to present the figures? </p>
<p>I received such a breakdown for one school after doing the NPC, and the last line said ‘Your OOP is $0’. Well, looking right above it showed that they were assuming my Parent Plus loan would be $30k or more. I wasn’t confused at all. And I also wasn’t taking out $30k in parent plus loans.</p>
<p>The schools are following the rules for the NPC. They are showing possible/probably sources of awards and aid, and then showing how the rest can be covered. The school called the loans ‘loans’, and how else can they convey to a student that the majority of the award is going to be loans or other self funded money?</p>
<p>I wasn’t confused reading what the student posted, and I don’t think this student’s parents would be either. The student knew it was loans, but just posted to be sure. </p>
