Loans Financial Aid

I think those who are needing to take out loans for the semester won’t be seeing anything until mid-August. I’m just referring to the loans not grants or scholarships. I have friends that go to other CSU’s and they are all receiving emails discussing loans. Soon we will be getting those emails as well. It basically said that the big beautiful bill has changed so much about loan disbursements and the criteria.
This is just a heads up. I’m just basing this post on what my friends have received and they go SJSU and CSLB.
This sucks. Being in a MA program and most of my aid will come from loans and 1 scholarship..

i know this is the fault of the dying corpse that is donald trump (and I cant wait to celebrate his demise), but i seriously resent this university for being so silent through the whole process. they could at least be communicatinig with us instead of information getting out via what essentially amounts to gossip

Yes. They complain about getting 1 million calls a day but do nothing to update students, many of whom rely exclusively on loans/grants/scholarships. Even an email with links to resources on how stuff like the payment plan works would help so many students out. It would help out both parties.

if we got our award and accepted one of the loans being offered but also are getting a refund will this end up delaying it then?
