Okay, so I report a small outside scholarship to the college I will be attending next fall, expecting it to help my overall financial aid package... well...
It just so happens that my work study was slashed from 1800 to 280... and my loan was nearly doubled. So I'm like, WTH! This is NOT what I need, since I will be pursuing at LEAST 8-12 years of schooling (incoming freshman for undergrad this year).
So I sent off a polite email asking what's up basically, and wondering if my loan can be reduced and work study increased. My financial aid package getting worse (IMO at least) defeats the purpose of reporting outside scholarships.
Your thoughts? Did I do the right thing?
