Host: I have a loan from one school, but not from another. Why is that?

Brad Barnett: I think what you see when you look at loans from schools is some school s have a practice of offering loan money upfront, others don t. It can go from the staff to direct loan perspective, even to the parent loan perspective. So if you are interested in the loans and you don t see it on your financial aid award notice, that doesn t mean you are not eligible. What it means is you really need to contact the school to inquire about it. Most schools who don't offer loans on the award notice, would provide you some instruction s to contact them and inquire about them, but if they don t and you are interested just touch a base with them.
