My pell grant for 2010-2011 school year was processed in March. I take classes continously, totalling 24 credits each semester. Why hasn’t my pell been used first instead of the student loans? How long does it take to get to my school?

Hi, my name is Paula. I didn’t fill out a FAFSA for my son for the 2009-2010 school year (which is now already over) until just a couple days ago. I did it just for the heck of it. My son had been going to college for several years and never qualified for anything other than school loans so I figured it was a waste of time. Well, my daughter was getting ready to re-enroll in college (2010-2011 school year) this fall and needed to get the FAFSA filled out to see if she could get help. I told her to go ahead and fill one out for her brother too. Then I said, go ahead and do last years too since its still available to do online. Well, the results came back and it said that my son was/is eligible for $2900 in Pell Grant money for the 2009-2010 school year. Since he already went to school full time and completed both of those semesters, is he still able to get that money??

Hi, Thanks for reading!
I would consult your financial advisor regarding the amount of money you received from your Pell Grants.

I was wondering since I qualified for 5300 last year and 5500 this year in pell grants why did my schools only take out a few hundred dollars out of each years grant to pay for my class and then I also received a stafford loan. What happened to the rest of my pell grant money and why did I get a loan if I had all that extra money?

Hi,
Im in an associate program where i have to do different classes each 8 weeks for each semester. So for this Spring semester, i signed up for 8 hours credit for the first 8 weeks (jan- mid march) and had 50% of the Pell grant, I just signed up for another 5 hours credits a few days ago for the second 8 weeks (mid march – may).
My question is will the remaining 50% of Pell grant pay for the 5 hrs credits i have just signed up?
Thanks

Hi,
EducationGrant does not give out Pell Grants – we provide information so that our readers are informed on all financial aid topics. Make sure you fill out an application for financial aid – the FAFSA form. You will find out if you are in fact eligible for a Pell Grant.
Best of luck,

Hi,
You will need to contact whoever is offering the GED program, so you can set that up.
Once you have done that, you will need to contact Ashworth college and sign up for your class.
Best of luck,
