i received FAFSA money for college, and now I received a pell grant..im confused, is this money to be used towards college..what is it exactly?
Answer: first, FAFSA is the name of the application it stands for ...
The Pell you received is a result of you applying for what you call FAFSA money. Yes, it is to be used for college. Your Pell grant will be sent directly to the school to help pay your tuition, books, dorm, etc. If there is money left over after all this is paid, the remainder will be given to you to pay for such things as gasoline, supplies, living expenses...
This is a good book about financial aid.
DONT BORROW MONEY (Subsidized Stafford and Perkins loans) unless you absolutely have to. In other words, if your Pell isn't going to cover the cost of your tuition.

A Pell Grant is a government grant you applied for when you filled out the FAFSA. It's the best type of federal aid you can get, because it's money you don't have to pay back. It is to be used toward tuition, and you qualified because your Expected Family Contribution on FAFSA was below a certain cutoff (around $4000 I think).

With an EFC of 0, you can usually get the max, but it depends on the school you're attending, the funds that are available, and the number of hours you take. Talk to your FA Administrator or visit the FAFSA website at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/before003a.htm
Good Luck!!!!

Like mentioned above it does depend on different circumstances. As a second yr student (online) with an EFC of 0 I will recieve 2366/semester. You can contact your financial aid office and they should be able to tell you an estimate.
Question: I owe money for a pell grant because I didnt finish the semester and want to pay it off.?

Depending on the reason you did not finish the semester you might not have to pay it back. Do call your school's financial aid office and speak to them they will help you. My son had to drop classes because I became ill during the term and they said he would not have to pay it back because it was considered and unavoidable circumstance.

Question: Pell grants, What does it mean when they ask for this?
What does it mean when financial aid asks for Documenation of Student Living Expenses? They told me that I had all the paperwork in, and then they ask for this. I am finalizing 2007-2008 financial aid. Have you ever seen this being asked?

If I remember correctly, I used the information from the (chosen) college website which gave projected dollar amounts for student living expenses per semester and maybe also per year.
Question: How much does a particle pell grant pay for my schooling?

You will be awarded a Pell grant that is figured on your EFC and what school you will attend.
Answer: About $4,000
about $4,000
Answer: A "partial" Pell grant means you will get some ...
A "partial" Pell grant means you will get some Pell grant, but not the full amount. Unless the school tells you or you can produce your EFC and how many hours you are enrolled in, no one will be able to answer that for you. It can be anywhere from a few hundred dollars to up to a little over 4 thousand a year.
Question: What is the minimum amount of hours for Pell Grant in Summer terms?
I know that will Spring and Fall it is 12 hours minimum. What about per summer term?
I had appied but did not turn in tax forms to complete process for 07-08. They said if I am approved it will cover summer terms. I just don't know if there is a minimum.
Answer: You can get a Pell and go part time. As little as 1 credit ...
You can get a Pell and go part time. As little as 1 credit hour!!!
It won't be as much as if you go full time, but some still get a little money. The question here is really, "Will I get a Pell if I attend this summer?" and the answer to that will depend on if you used all your Pell eligibility during the Fall 07 and Spring 08.
If you did, then you won't get ANY for the summer no matter how many hours you enroll in. If, (say you sat out one of those semesters), then you would get Pell.
During the summer 6 hours is considered full time.... but like I said, you can get Pell going part time... it's loans that they limit you to full time or sometimes half time.
Question: filed FAFSA as indpendent this year and efc says I dont qualify for pell grant?
Answer: You can really only correct something when it's entered ...
You can really only correct something when it's entered wrong in the first place. If you are considered "independent" on the FAFSA, then you cant correct it unless it was a mistake. Technically you can go in and add their information, but it would still not be considered in determining your Pell eligibility because you are 24 years old, married, have kids, or meet one or more of the other "independent" criteria.
Question: My EFC is zero How much should I expect in a pell grant?
i have a big family so EFC is 0 (that means I get a free ride right) but idk if that will cover off campus housing, I dont think that it does so I was woundering if a pell grant will. if so how much should I expect to get from that with an ECF of 0?
Answer: kinside: I believe you get the full benefit of pell grant plus other ...
i believe you get the full benefit of pell grant plus other grants. the college determines the amount you get. good luck
Answer: If your EFC is 0 it does not necessarily mean you are going ...
If your EFC is 0 it does not necessarily mean you are going to get a "Free Ride". It depends on the school you choose and the cost of your tuition.
For next year (Fall 08 and Spring 09) the max Pell grant is around 4,700 for the year. Weather it will pay your housing depends on how expensive your tuition is. If you attend a cheap school with a tuition of less than this amount -- it will... if you choose to attend an expensive school with tuition alone costing you over this amount, then no.. it won't pay for your housing.
If you choose to attend a community college and don't live in the dorms and the tuition and fees are only 1500 a semester, then you would get the remainder of Pell issued directly to you to help pay your living expenses.
Here is a good book about fin aid.

You are most likely to get put on academic probation and are going to have to raise your gpa to a certain grade, depending on your school. they will determine how much you need to raise your gpa. if you raise your gpa, your school financial aid office might let you keep it. however, you don't have to pay it back. you can only get it taken away for the following years if you don't improve. go talk to an academic advisor within your degree and the financial aid office.
