Any colllege students in here or somebody who works for financial aid???

Hi, when i first started college, i had $4 000 from financial aid I ve been going full time since then. i even took three extra classes in the summer. i also had another scholarship for 400 dollars. This year they cut off my money in half and i didn’t receive the other schoolarship. I’m doing pretty good with a 2.6 gpa. Las semester i had a class that i failed but the teacher was suppose to give me a grade change. He probably forgot about it. when i asked him today he said he’ll do it tomorrow. ( can i get him in trouble) is that the reason y they cut my money off? here is what it says on my financial aid page . “Your Financial Aid awards are subject to future revisions based on changes in funding and/or eligibility requirements. The amounts listed may be based on anticipated enrollment and adjusted later for true enrollment. “

I don’t work for fin aid, but I’m going to try to offer suggestions or questions to ask yourself.

Re: fin aid being “cut in half”. Are you enrolled full time now? Grants are adjusted based on enrollment status and going from full to part time could effect that. Or, did your income change from the first year (when you got 4000) to last year? Also, did you reapply for the $400.00 scholarship?

Re: the failed class. Yes failing a class can sometimes effect your fin aid, but if you have an award letter – which it sounds like you do – I don’t think that’s the issue. But keep after the teacher.

Re: teacher in trouble. I don’t think you could get a teacher in trouble for forgetting to change a grade. Happens all the time.

Re: “cut my money off” it doesn’t sound like you’ve been cut off, it’s just a new fin aid year and each year your fin aid is recalculated. It almost always changes some, some years more than others.

Hope it helps!!

Yes it will have an impact. Your EFC will no longer be 0 so you certainly won’t qualify for the full pell grant. There’s no way to tell you how much it will go up though.
