I would revisit this. Financial aid at Stanford is extremely generous... I was a beneficiary myself. Someone in that office will help you figure this out. I am still in the Bay Area, so if you need someone on the ground, let me know. To be honest, your $20K loan sounds like an error. Alumni like myself do not donate back to Stanford so that things like this happen. EDIT: Added the final paragraph.
