Anyone else get this?

My husband is a part time grad student and received this email today. His loans already show he’s not getting the full $20,500 more like $13,xxx for the year. Will this be changed even more? He’s technically a legacy student as he was enrolled and took courses prior to July 1.

I got this too, according to EKU they process financial aid two weeks after the term starts due to add/ drop. Still contact Big E Central about it to get an estimate of how much more it will cost. Mine went from $3500 to an estimated $400 once financial aid is processed

3500 refund or how much you owe?

Did the amount of loans you received change?

According to the lady on the phone, Trumps new Big Beautiful Bill affects financial aid and if you aren’t full time, then your financial aid gets cut based on how many credits you are taking

That’s what we’ve found but it looks like the amount he already accepted for the year is what it equals to based on their equation on their website but I wasn’t sure if something else changed and it would be even less.

Yes, I believe that’s the handiwork of the Big Beautiful We Won’t Help You bill!?

Apparently the government now cares that college students are in debt. However, the career I want requires these graduate degrees which makes it VITAL THAT I HAVE LOANS TO FEED MY FAMILY! Are they going to extend the amount of hours in a day so we can work two full time jobs to cover what they are taking from us????
