My school dispersed federal student loans for the semester last Thursday after subtracting my tuition expenses. My understanding is that the remaining funds are for room and board, books and supplies, and miscellaneous expenses, to be allocated at my discretion.

Also - will I be disqualified based ...

My school switched to Direct loans for Fall 2010. I have completed the e MPN and entrance counseling in July, and classes started 8/16. We've been told that disbursement is 8/30, two weeks after classes started, but I haven't received any disclosure statement from Direct.
