Pell grant repayment???

I’m transferring to another college starting Spring ’08. But I’m really not wanting to finish up the last of my current classes. I’ve received $1,000 of grant money already, what are the repayments like? Would funds still be disbursed for the spring semester?

This is what the federal regulations say:

WITHDRAWAL AND OVERPAYMENTS

Federal regulations specify that you attend at least 60% of the semester before you become eligible for 100% of your

federal student aid awards for that term. If you withdraw from all your classes before you have completed at least 60% of the semester, the College must determine what portion of your federal awards you are entitled to receive according to federal regulations. If you have received, or the college has received on your behalf, more federal tudent aid funds than the formula allows, you will have to repay any award amount to which you were not entitled. If ou fail to repay any award amount to which you were not entitled, you risk losing your eligibility for future federal aid payments.

Call your schools finanical aid office to determine how much of the semester you have completed.

Dropping below full time student status will affect your Pell Grant. Your Pell Grant amount is different depending on if you are a full time or part time student. Since you are now a part time student, you don’t qualify for the amount of money you got when you were considered full time student. Most likely you owe them a portion of that grant now (the extra that you got for being a full time student versus a part time one). Contact your financial aid office and see when you have to repay that money. @the first comment: yes, normally you don’t repaid Pell Grants. But this is not the case here because technically he doesn’t qualify for the amount of money he got at the beginning of the semester so he’s returning the extra that he got.

I didn’t know Pell grants had to be paid back. I say this because when I went to cosmetology school, some of my classmates got monthly checks via Pell Grants, & when I asked them how it worked, they said they could do what they wanted with the money & that it didn’t need to be paid back. I had to take out a “Student Loan” & paid mine back. I may be wrong about the PG, I’m just telling you what I was told.

As far as I know, you don’t have to repay Pell Grants. I would suggest you contact student advisors or counselors and see what they have to say or better yet, contact FAFSA and ask if your enrollment status affects your financial aid.

Talk to your financial aid counselor. I use to work at a college financial aid office and I think if you withdraw after receiving pell money you could go on financial aid suspension. This could mess up your financial aid at the new college. Check it out before you withdraw because your new college will need transcripts and if your current one puts you on suspension, they will show that information.

? You don’t pay back pell grants. If anything, you pay back private and federal student loans. As far as pricing , I pay around 300 per month, but it varies depending on much you borrowed. Your best bet is to consolidate all your loans and get a low interest rate and pay around $200 for 15 years.

Pell Grants do not have to be paid back. ie: the word grant. Student loans are the things that get paid back.
