b r i ? asked:


I have financial aid and get an “account” every semester filled with money for books, classes, tuition, etc. Whatever I don’t use gets sent to me by check and is mine to deposit. Do I have to pay this back?

I will be an entering freshman during the fall at a university in Georgia. My HOPE scholarship covers my entire cost of attendace (scholarship for students who maintained 3.0 or higher GPA in high school). However, my overall financial aid including the Federal Pell Grant and Federal Subsidized Loan exceed the total cost of attendance by over $3,000 in a single semester alone. What happens to that excess $3,000 which consists of the loan and the Pell Grant? Do I not receive the funds because the HOPE alone covers the total cost of attendace? Or will I get the $3,000? Thanks

I am currently on the waiting list for a class that would bump me up into full time status. I only got $500 because I am part time. I was wondering if I would be able to go to my campus financial aid center and ask for more money since I would be finally a full time student? The week coming up would be the third week into school. Thanks.

Dana asked:


We are a middle income family, He works full time, I work very part time, and attend college. Even though they say our EFC is 14000 that does not mean we have it! Previous student loans, mortgage, bills etc all add up. I am never eligible for anything beyond an unsubsidized federal loan, and our credit is shaky at best, we are not eligible for a private loan. If we file “married filing separate” will I be able to receive additional financial aid?

I have been without a job for more than a year and I would like to go back to college. My husband is working and he makes good money but we still can’t afford pay for college . How can I know if I am elligible for any goverment or federal financial aid?

nyc_girl asked:


It’s my understanding that financial aid is awarded by your income you had the previous year. How will the spring 2008 semester be determined because if they go by my income for 2007 I won’t have any proof. Since I obviously have not filed taxes yet?

Alexia B asked:


I know my efc and want to know how much financial aid I will receive so I can figure out how much I will have to kick in. School is starting soon and my school is taking too long to tell me. I need to figure out where I’m going to get the money from.

JBR asked:


Up until this year, I had signed up for financial aid using my mother’s income which is very low. I’ve gotten a full ride every year and had extra money left over. This year I was able to apply as an independent student, and barely got enough financial aid to cover my tuition. What gives? I called financial aid and they said that was correct. How is this possible when there was more money made between my mom and I in previous years than what I made alone last year? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Now I have to take out hella student loans.
