I have a bachelor's degree and want to get a Master's degree. Last year, my tax returns were about $70k. But I'll be quitting my job to go back to school full time, so my income will be $0. Does anyone know how much aid I will qualify for from Stanford Student Loans. I'm curious about subsidized and unsubsidized.
I know one can get up to $10,000 in unsubsidized an $8500 in subsidized. But I don't know how much I can get given last year's income.
The school I'm going to as a total cost of attendance of $17000.

The government loves to give people loans, so you shouldn't have any problem. The first year, you may not get very much because you made so much last year (that is what they look at). Plus if you are getting your masters, the school will probably have an assistantship or fellowship for you, check into that!
The second year of grad school you should get more money, since your income would have been zero.
It makes a big difference if you live with your parents, you'll have to include their tax information (even if they are not contributing to your tuition)... but if you are over 25, you don't have to use your parents information!
Go to the Fafsa website, there's lots of info there. That is who I have all of my loans with.. and I have a lot!
