9. When is the extra money (refund) available? Do we have to take out all of the loan amount? I have a UNK scholarship but it is not showing up on my student’s financial aid, why? How does spring semester work? How do I get a parent loan? Is there anything my student has to do to get their student loans? Is there more loan the student can take out in the student’s name – not mine? Do outside scholarships affect the UNK scholarship, grant or loan awards? Is there a deadline for applying for the loans? Can I still apply for federal aid? What are the interest rates on loans? How does my student purchase books?
