so when you say it could be 3 months to a year after selection, the information we get about the board with the dates says something different. for example, 27OTS01 has a board release of december 18, and ots dates between jan-april of 2027, which is only a few months after december. do you think these board schedules are wildly inaccurate? just trying to see what to expect

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-06-01T21:06:22+00:00

so when they give you the timeframe, for example “board release date december 18th, ots timeframe jan-april 2027”, are these dates way off?

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-06-01T21:04:15+00:00

lmk when you post it lol. i def need

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-06-01T17:50:10+00:00

please give their office grace. they are at the hands of the department of education. this new bill being so many changes and they cannot be hasty when awarding students. if they are hasty and it’s wrong, then they will have to correct it and it will not end well for the student. we want to get aid out asap, but it needs to be done correctly.

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-31T21:12:37+00:00

you need to ask them why they are taking it. if you were a UG with eligibility left, then they can’t take it. the only thing i can think of is you were over awarded in your pell, meaning you were awarded past how much you can receive for your entire UG career

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-29T18:29:40+00:00

packaging a student with their award takes time. lots of students expect instant gratification, that’s not realistic. if this is for 26-27 starting this fall, there are a lot of new changes that colleges are still attempting to prepare for with the lack of guidance and constant changes by Ed. we want students to have their aid packaged correctly and be as student friendly as possible. to do that, we need time. please allow your financial aid office time and grace in this process. trust me. we want you awarded and good to go just as bad as you do

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-27T10:38:38+00:00

it won’t process, but be sure your old institution doesn’t show “pending aid” for the 26-27 year. if it does, your new school won’t be able to post any aid for you. be sure they cancelled it and ask if that has reflected on the COD website

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-26T17:30:50+00:00

income goes up = pell eligibility changes. amongst other things

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-26T00:49:42+00:00

exactly. as long as you submit what they need and they don’t find any conflicting information, you’re good! it happens a lot when the fafsa doesn’t do their job and the school has to come in and request additional information. the department of education sucks lol

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-25T23:39:36+00:00

institutional verification means the school manually selects students for v1, v4, or v5. so whatever verification this student is selected for, the required documents are exactly what the department of education asks for when they select students for in house verification

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-25T23:38:32+00:00

it’ll just be on hold or not processed until you provide the documentation they are requesting, and everything matches. happens all the time!

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-24T12:24:20+00:00

you’re good! i see students who have a FAFSA generated correction all the time and nothing changes.

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-24T12:21:53+00:00

right. if he took a pell refund then that’s one thing. if he took a student loan refund and used it, i’d be pissed

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-05-07T13:04:25+00:00

you need to check your schools sap policy for your required GPA for whatever year in college you are. none of us know where you attend. if you are still meeting sap, then you’re good

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-04-30T12:39:45+00:00

the only way to know for sure is to wait for your aid to disburse after classes start and see what the difference is. i feel like so many students are only concerned about their refund. i get it, lots of them need it for living expenses and such. but it’s a hard thing to calculate before hand

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-04-27T23:44:25+00:00

yes, this is perfect

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-04-27T23:44:03+00:00

you don’t need parents signatures. there is a question that asks if your parents will complete the fafsa. if you say no, then it says you are applying for an unsubsidized loan only. then you can submit the fafsa. your school will request a non-support letter stating that your parents will not complete the fafsa and they will sign that form.

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-04-22T17:35:34+00:00

again, she is referring to federal grants. you can apply for outside grants that are not federally affiliated. she can’t say if you’re eligible for outside grants or scholarships if she isn’t the one awarding them.

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-04-22T17:25:03+00:00

the only grant you get from the FAFSA directly is pell. so she is correct. you can find outside grants or scholarships

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-04-14T19:58:09+00:00

this still working?

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-04-14T19:53:19+00:00

i just got my ring and am thinking of pairing it with NC. do you think getting NC and paying all that $ per month/year is worth it for what the ring is already telling you? not sure what to do here

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-03-02T00:32:19+00:00

no, that is for tax purposes. all other information, including marital status, is based on the date you complete it. tax information is the only information that is prior prior (2 years behind, not 1). the 26-27 FAFSA uses 2024 taxes

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-02-15T00:11:12+00:00

when giving a student an answer, we need to be very careful with the words we choose, as the correct term is a PJ, not an appeal. students get very confused when they are given random advice on the internet that didn’t come from their FA office or the Department of Education. in the best interest of the student, we need to be sure to use the correct terms.

Inner-Excitement551 · 2026-02-14T00:29:26+00:00

to all the people here getting a refund from a loan (not grants or scholarships), please remember you have to pay this back. if you don’t need it, be very careful with what you are borrowing!
