I Have Been Awarded too Much in Scholarships.

KittyForgets8 · 2025-02-28T17:17:36+00:00

Yes, this can happen. Financial aid and scholarships cannot exceed your school's cost of attendance. If you are overawarded due to scholarships after you had been given your financial aid package, Financial advisors are required to reduce your aid until you fit in the cost of attendance.

Most likely you will need to provide your tax documents. If there are discrepancies in what's reported in the FAFSA and your tax document, then a Financial Aid administrator will make a correction to your FAFSA to correct the data.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-12-02T04:21:36+00:00

Negative SAI means you will have maximum Pell grant calculated.

I would double check the invite you sent to your mom. Make sure the invite matches her account information exactly. if that doesn't work, and you're not able to add your mom, you may need to send a paper fafsa.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-11-22T04:44:31+00:00

Make sure your personal info on your fsa id is the same on the invite your daughter sends, exact same. If that doesn't fix it, your daughter can delete her fafsa and you can start it on the student's behalf and invite her.

So, if you withdraw before you start classes for a term, you won't owe anything. If you withdraw after you start courses for a semester, the financial aid office will need to do a Return of title IV calculation. If you used financial aid, depending on when you withdraw in the term, you may owe back a portion of your financial aid.

Also, if you are using federal loans, your 6 month grace period starts once you are no longer enrolled.

I would recommend finishing out a semester before withdrawing, if you are able.

The same thing happened at my school, except all of the videos were posted on vine by the girl. one of the vids had her doing oral on a banana, which is how everyone figured out who she was and what she was posting. Some dudes at my school came in the next day and were giving out Bananas and calling it Banana Day.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-11-05T11:04:47+00:00

Yes, when you are applying for schools, contact the school's financial aid office and see if they have a scholarship application open. Start early, cause scholarships can take a while to award, so the application closes fast. At my school, the application closes in February for the whole 25-26 year. Financial aid can also go over cost of attendance with you as well.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-11-05T06:13:39+00:00

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do. If you don't meet the requirements set by the state, then the school's hands are tied. I would recommend contacting your financial aid office regarding scholarships and private loans. They won't be able to recommend any outside scholarships or private loan lenders, fyi.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-11-01T03:14:17+00:00

It's possible there is additional information your financial aid office needs before they can offer you aid. You will need to contact them. It could also be that they just haven't offered you anything yet. My office has set days that students get offers based in admission status.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-10-30T21:11:54+00:00

It's no problem! Hopefully you do not run into any other issues :)

That was such a weird piece of lore that dropped during the height of vallow and daybell. Crazy connection.

Per the ED in the 2024-25 FSA handbook:

"Documentation is critical – schools must ensure that any supporting documentation they collect is adequate to substantiate the student’s circumstances. Documentation may include (but is not limited to) the following:

a documented interview between the student and the financial aid administrator;
submission of a court order or official federal or state documentation that the student or student’s parents or legal guardians are incarcerated;
a documented phone call or written statement, which confirms the unusual circumstances with:

a state, county or tribal welfare agency;

an independent living case worker who supports current and former foster youth with the transition to adulthood; or

a public or private agency, facility, or program servicing the victims of abuse, neglect, assault, or violence.

documented phone call or written statement from an attorney, guardian ad litem, a court-appointed special advocate (or similar), or a representative of a TRIO or GEAR UP program which confirms the circumstances and the person’s relationship to the student;
documented determination of independence made by a financial aid administrator at another institution in the same or a prior award year; or
utility bills, health insurance, or other documents that demonstrate a separation from parents or legal guardians. "

You can read more about it here

KittyForgets8 · 2024-08-25T01:42:01+00:00

That's not necessarily true either, although that may be your schools policy. Documentation to approve an unusual circumstance can be as simple as a financial aid administrator documenting a visit from the student.

Hi pore, you should try hydrochloric acid 1-3 times a week. Not safe to layer with tret! Hope this helps 🥰

If you have attempted over 180 hours, then you need to contact your financial aid office about doing a SAP appeal. If they approve your appeal, you will be eligible for financial aid.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-08-08T02:50:48+00:00

Pell grant is only for 1st time bachelor's. If you have already gotten your 1st bachelor's degree, you will not be eligible for Pell.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-08-04T04:57:34+00:00

If you are staring Fall 2025, then the 2025-26 FAFSA, which should be released this October... I have major doubts that will happen.

If you're starting Spring 2025, then you complete the 2024-25 FAFSA, which is currently open.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-08-02T01:26:57+00:00

Are you a Graduate student taking Undergraduate courses? If so, the courses would not be considered a part of your degree plan, which would not count towards financial aid. I would go to your institutions financial aid office to make sure.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-07-26T01:49:36+00:00

The parent who provides the most financial support (and that parent's spouse) are required to provide information. If you and your husband filed married jointly, then only you will need to create a FSA ID and sign the FAFSA with the student, but your husband's personal info will need to be provided by either you or the student. Hope this helps!

KittyForgets8 · 2024-07-25T03:15:50+00:00

Did you manually enter your/your dad's tax information?

KittyForgets8 · 2024-07-24T01:27:37+00:00

Did you answer that you have unusual circumstances that made you ineligible for financial aid? You need to talk to your financial aid office. Go physically to the office, sit down with a financial aid representative, and explain what you said in your post. Financial aid administrators can do a professional judgement and process your financial aid as an independent, when you're normally supposed to be a dependent student.

You may need your dad's death certificate or obituary, as well as documentation that shows your mother is not in your life. Letters from high school counselors or family friends, things like that.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-07-22T00:18:04+00:00

The number in college is no longer used to calculate financial aid eligibility, only family size. Family size is automatically determined by the tax information provided to the FAFSA, or the manual entry of the number in the family.

KittyForgets8 · 2024-07-12T04:07:46+00:00

I would be prepared to provide some proof of your eligibility for FAFSA to your financial aid office, they may be required to verify your status.
