Stafford loan, not getting full amount?

Is it common to not get the full Stafford loan amount? I'm only estimated to get about 20,000. Why could that be?

Edit: Resolved. Typo on my school's financial aid guide.

For graduate/Professional school the maximum is $20500. You are getting almost all of that.

I see, thank you. The financial aid guide given to me by my school claims it should be close to 45k. Thank you for correcting me!

The $20,500 is for the semester, not the year. You should get it twice!

Even better! Thank you 🙂

True. Thank you for clearing that up.

Hey just wondering, if I received the stafford loan ($20,5000 per semester) for my graduate program (2016-2017), does that mean I will not be receiving the loan for dental school (2017-beyond)?

Fafsa applications only works for one academic year (2 semesters). You would have to apply 3 more times.

There is a lifetime limit of 224k cumulative from undergrad into dental school. So 162k max for Debtal school.

You are allowed to roll 62k worth do undergrad over.
