Student Loan Lenders Change Approved Loan Terms Mid-Enrollment Causing Financial Hardship

MPOWER Financing approved a specific loan amount and then changed terms mid-enrollment, forcing the student to scramble for additional funding mid-semester. Students plan tuition and housing around approved loan amounts and have no fallback when lenders retroactively reduce commitments. The term change violates the implicit promise of loan approval at a specified amount.
