I have been filling out the FAFSA for years, never received a Pell Grant. Hardly anything from my child's College as she was a transfer. Extremely disappointed as She was a top student at a Prep High School.
Hi, I have a question! So in my award letter from my community letter, it says total $7395. In my transactions, it says Federal Pell Grant was only awarded me $3698. I was hoping I’d get money back to buy a new device since none of my devices are really suited/upgraded for college, but now I’m worried.
You'd have to check with your financial aid office to see why you weren't awarded the full amount. However, most awards are broken out by academic period, so you won't get the amount all at once. You'll receive some every quarter or semester, depending on your school's academic period.
How do we know if we qualify for the Pell Grant? We've already completed FAFSA. If we did qualify, would we find out from the university or directly from FAFSA office?
After filing FAFSA, you can see the summary to find out if you qualify for the Pell grant. If so, it should also be listed in your university's financial aid award letter.
Hey! Im attending a community college, and in our specific college has a program that pays for our tuition for the academic year, after rhat i should have around 7,000$ left after the tuition. With other expenses like books and other major related costs for the year, I should have around 3000-4000$ left. Is that money completely mine? Do i have to pay that back?
It depends what the financial aid package looks like. Loans need to be paid back. If the funds are from grants, then there is no need to pay that back. You should look at your financial aid award letter to see where the money is coming from.

Private scholarships are an additional way to pay for college. Check out our free training about our program: thescholarshipsystem.com/freewebinar/
Hello! I want to apply to a Pell grant but I to graduated from Penn Foster, an online school, am I eligible? Am I on time so I can get into college for next fall?
Each school and state has their own deadlines to apply to FAFSA. You would need to check with your school of interest to see if you are still eligible for Fall enrollment.
It is rare that the Pell grant will cover the full cost of tuition. Overage may be refunded to the student after ALL the direct costs have been paid to the school, including tuition, fees, and on-campus room and board, if any.
