Supposedly there is a delay this year with the pell grants, and our Direct Loans covered our tuition. So we are supposed to get the check for our pell grants sent to us when the school receives them. Both my husband and myself are currently enrolled at the University of Phoenix-Axia online. I need to know how I can find out if there really is a delay with the pell grants this year. I started college March 28th and received my funding and excess funds check on the 15th of May. I don't know if my school is lying to me, or if there really is a delay. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am also having issues with my pell grant, and financial advisor.

I would consult a financial advisor, or reach out to someone in the financial aid department of your school about your Pell Grant and GI BIll concerns. Best of luck, EducationGrant Editor Hi Jimmie,

But it's puzzling to hear that your financial aid office hasn't been especially helpful. In the FAQ section of the U.S. Student Aid website, one question is: "I have questions about my financial aid award. Who should I contact?" It is followed by this answer: "Contact the financial aid office at your school. The financial aid administrator at a postsecondary institution combines various forms of aid into a package to help meet a student's need. Using available resources to give each student the best possible package of aid is one of the aid administrator's major responsibilities." I hope someone is able to help you find out what's going on with your Pell Grant soon. Good luck! The EducationGrant Editor Hi Jessica,
