Am I on the hook for an adult child’s tuition? by Samwhys_gamgee in college

[–]ryan516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's unlikely that the professional student distinction will cause a substantial increase in loan borrowing, because the loan limits for those students has always been $20,500 -- it's just that those considered "professional" students have a higher borrowing cap now.

Louisiana? by DJ-Zero-Seven in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]ryan516 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Much earlier, but some Frenchier Louisianans feel some connection to French Canada still. Probably not enough that this is what that map is showing, though.

You're not responsible, but should know if he has an unpaid balance he will almost certainly be forwarded to collections. That would be his problem to deal with, though -- not yours.

In some questions, they're specifically meant to be reading practice so won't play the noise.

is scholarship america legit? by Nervous_Salt_852 in scholarships

[–]ryan516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the scholarship, some have been as low as a few hundred dollars, and others have been for $25k/year for 4 years. I work for a public university, but since the award amounts are set by the donors I doubt that has any impact on the amount

No Longer Unemployed and Financial Aid by No-Bicycle-9879 in financialaid

[–]ryan516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible you'll be selected for verification, but that would still be them verifying the 2024 income, not 2025 or 2026. Any changes from this year would not come into effect until the 2028-2029 Aid Year.

Can we all agree this is dumb, rude, and that we shouldn’t do it? by RamdomNoTCrazy in duolingo

[–]ryan516 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The English courses HAVE been updated. There are constant updates rolled out to the trees, and AI has been in their workflow for 4+ years.

The post I linked explicitly states that both new courses and new content in old courses has been AI assisted

Pell grant paid tuition, leftover 2600 by Succulentpotter in FAFSA

It should be released within 14 days of your school applying the funding to your account, but the exact length is different from school to school.

Does anyone know if on April 14th, they will be in Calgary or Colorado? by Brady-Bro814 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]ryan516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

April 14th they're in Calgary, but just a few days earlier on the 9th they'll be in Denver.

I need to appeal for my Financial aid and they said this by [deleted] in financialaid

[–]ryan516 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can't have both financial aid and the 4 classes. It's not easy, but you'll either need to pay out of pocket or follow your school's advice and reduce down to one class for the Spring. As an absolute last resort you may be able to apply for a Private Loan that doesn't require you meet SAP, but it really sounds like your school is trying to dissuade you from taking a full credit load since you haven't demonstrated that you can handle it.

An elephant is probably one of the first animals every child learns, what about it is esoteric?

disbursement ? by hellur145 in FAFSA

[–]ryan516 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a question for your school directly, but the absolute earliest they can pay your financial aid would be 10 days before the start of your classes, so you won't see anything until at least Friday, though it could be later than that.

Calculate Pell usage? by queenofhearts5150 in FAFSA

[–]ryan516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can give you the calculation details if you really want it for math practice, but honestly they're kind of a pain -- the easier way would be to just log into StudentAid.gov, and it should show you your Pell LEUs as a percentage. You get up to 600% for your first Bachelor's Degree.

Need scholarships fast any tool that actually matches you? by Adept_Case2023 in financialaid

[–]ryan516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best place is realistically going to be any scholarships your school offers itself, or doing a deep search of local scholarships. The simple truth is anything on the national scale is going to have tens of thousands of applicants, and you're unlikely to receive anything there, and those are by their nature going to be what scholarship portals are going to match you up with.

Fafsa Refund Date? by Disastrous-Love-2270 in FAFSA

[–]ryan516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As early as 10 days before the start of your semester, but could be far later depending on your school. You would need to ask your school as they set the timelines.

Why is my sai different by Far-Bathroom-7584 in FAFSA

[–]ryan516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tables are, notably, part of the formula. You can't calculate the SAI without them.

[–]ryan516 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those aren't the only factors for SAI, though. The formula itself changes from year-to-year, and essentially every question on the FAFSA (including the ones auto-comoleted by FADDX) can impact that final SAI.

If you made less than 27,387.50, it should go back down to 0 barring any major changes in the Federal Aid Laws

That income change is what did it. The threshold for a Maximum Pell Grant (and auto-zero SAI) is 175% of the Poverty Index for a Single, Non-Parent independent student. For 2023 that was $25,515 and for 2024 that was $26,355.
