I spoke with someone in the financial aid office yesterday. My file has now been entered into the system, and I will get my final award notification this week. Then I just have to let them know which lenders I plan to use by the end of the month. The financial aid officer said Kellogg won’t start certifying loans until July, so I’m really not in danger of missing any deadlines. Once the loans are certified, I sign a master promissory note and we’re done. I’m glad that this seems to be sorted out, although I won’t be 100% convinced it is sorted until I see that email in my inbox.
Oh, and we won’t actually get any money in our bank account from the loans until Sept. 21 (the official first day of classes), so I need to make sure I have enough cash on hand for living expenses through then.
Good tip on the Sept. 21thing.
Yeah, they’ve answered my queries too. So things are looking clearer for me too.
I wonder if they read your blog.
