<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Hey everyone,

My father just offered to pay for my living expenses while doing graduate school abroad. I secured a private loan for the full tuition and have meager savings, but this would be a huge help, as I was expecting to take out another smaller loan for living expenses (~$20,000). 

Over the past few years, he's alluded several times to how it's a shame that people don't really receive money from family when they really need it (young, starting a family, etc.). My sister is also starting a graduate program and that he would match the same amount for her, which I also know would be a huge help to her.

My father has a very good salary and has been saving up for years - I know he's happy to do it, but I still feel guilty about it, especially since he's essentially asking me to name the amount I need.

I feel incredibly lucky and privileged, and I know the main emotion I should feel is gratitude, but I'm not sure how to proceed.

* Do I contact my sister first to see what she thinks?

* How do I go about asking for the amount that I would otherwise borrow in the form of a private loan?

* How do I keep this from negatively influencing our strong relationship?

Any insights would be very helpful.
