Your ultimate goal is your degree. Every item in your financial aid is packaged to help you get everything you need to reach that (the Cost of Attendance). We all want to minimize debt, but for many of us loans are a necessary tool to help us connect with important opportunities, like  a car, a house, or a decent chance at earning a degree. In fact, 37% of Spartans used the financial aid loans they were awarded to help make their education possible. Leave any of your financial aid on the table, and you could be making getting a degree harder on yourself than it needs to be. Note that most university emergency financial assistance programs require you to have used all your financial aid loans before considering you for crisis funding.
