<p>Sorry for the confusion. At no point did I believe all of my costs were being paid for. I misused the term “full ride” in explaining that the financial aid listed as covering all of the costs. I was simply confirming that the “Fed Direct Parent PLUS Loan” was in fact a regular loan, and not money supplied by the school. </p>
<p>I will admit, I didn’t fully read over all of the awards and thought initially that USD was truly offering my a full ride. I was ecstatic, until I read it over and realized that more than half of it was loans. That is simply what I came here to confirm. Talk about going from an extreme high to low, haha. </p>
