If you already have an award that pays your tuition and you have no other expenses owed to the school since you are living at home, you should receive a refund of the $2030 as long as you are going full time (it is adjusted if you go less than full time).

If you have the same situation come Spring Semester (having the award that pays for your tuition, you are living at home, and you are going full time) you should receive the other $2030.

Pell is awarded/disbursed by semester or quarters, depending on your school. It will be divided in half for semester schools (Fall/Spring) or in thirds for quarter schools (Fall/Winter/Spring). You would need to check with your school regarding the disbursement schedule. Schools cannot disburse funds more than 10 days prior to the first day of class. Some wait until after final drop/add.

You should talk to a financial aid officer at your school for further information. Good luck!
