Usually, you will get one lump sum for each semester.  If they say you are getting $5000 this school year, you will get $2500 each semester, one payment in August and the other in January.  If you tell them you are going to school in the summer, you may get aid in June as well.

I would contact the school.  You should have already gotten it long ago...our funds are in our students hands the week before a semester starts.  It may vary from school to school...but you should have it for sure!  GOOD LUCK! :)

Normally they will send you a break down of your account in the mail or at some schools, you can check it via email. When they apply your financial aid, they will pay all of your tuition and whatever is left, you will receive it as a refund.

Bimonthly is every two months. Semi-monthly is twice a month.

Once the school gets your FAFSA..they will send you a financial aid award letter. At most schools, if you qualify for a pell..they will offer that and less of a loan to you.

Did you at least get *something?*  If you got something and it simply wasn't enough, there are any number of reasons why you didn't get enough.\n\n1.  Loan/grant limits.  It is possible that, even if you have been given everything they have to give, the funding just doesn't exist.  Every federal program has limits.  Pell grants are capped at $4050 for full-time students; Stafford loans are capped at $2625 for Freshmen; Perkins loans and SEO Grants are capped at $4,000 for undergrads (and not all schools can offer Perkins or SEOG, and those who CAN often don't have enough of it to give the maximum).\n\n2.  Dependency status.  If you are an undergrad, are under 24, are unmarried (without kids), and are not a veteran or an orphan, you have to include your parents information on your FAFSA.  Your EFC, which is used to determine your eligibility for aid, is based on the income and assets of both you and your parents.  If your EFC exceeds the cost of your attendance, you probably aren't eligible for much more than an Unsub. Stafford Loan.  To find out what your EFC is, check your FAFSA results (on the SAR or "Student Aid Report" that you would have received after you filed the FAFSA) or call your Financial Aid Office.\n\n3.  Your enrollment status.  Many financial aid programs are limited to half-time or full-time students.  If you're not taking enough credits, you might be eligible for a lot less than a student taking a full credit load.\n\n4.  Accreditation.  It's possible that your school isn't allowed to administer student aid programs, or that they are only allowed to administer *some* of those programs, like Pell and Stafford only.\n\n5.  You might have made an error on your FAFSA that makes you look more wealthy than you are.  This happens a lot but can be corrected.  Go over your FAFSA results carefully to make sure that you didn't add in any numbers that shouldn't be there.\n\nNot every school has the means to meet every student's financial need. You or your parents can borrow a PLUS loan or a private loan to cover what your Federal and institutional financial aid package does not cover.

Not sure what exactly you mean, but you don't necessarily even qualify for pell grants each year.  You fill out the paperwork annually & they look at your/your parents tax returns to determine if you qualify.\n\nSince you do just fill it out once per year, I would think that the amount you receive is set for the year & is most likely divided between the semesters you plan to enroll, or is applied to the full year in advance.

fill out a FAFSA form, in one of the questions it asks if both of your parents are deceased.  you will be considered an independent student and will receive more financial aid.

it depends.  Say, you receive a grant worth 4050 for the year, but you are only attending the fall semester. you are not eligible for the other half 2025 b/c you will be attending the spring semester.  Grants are contingent you you attending a perspective semester and successfully completing it.  However, if your grant covered your cost of attendance for that semester and there is a money left over in that semester, then you are entitled to it.

Not many people are deny for financial aid. You should be ok, the problem that many people have with getting financial aid is when they or their parents have a lot of savings in the bank. When my friends and I were going through filling out FAFSA forms, my friend's parents didn't make a lot of money but they had no mortgage just every day bills and they didn't spend a lot so it went into their savings one of my friends parents had over $85,000 in their savings. She didn't get any financial aid can you understand why? $85,000 11 years paid for college 2 times over.

You can apply for a pell and or loan,. However the deadline has passed for Spring..you might be able to get  a loan. I would wait until Fall. Then you will have time to fill out the FAFSA and get it back, etc. and maybe a state grant if you get it in by the deadline.  Your advisor does NOT have to pay your bills..that is not her place to tell you when to start. It's her place to help you when you start. If you really want to go in the spring, take a course or 2, and then work or get on the ball and fill out the FAFSA...it will take 3-4 weeks to get it back and then the school processes it...you still won't get your money until mid semester. (If you go this spring)

financial aid is based on financial need.  the fafsa people with their super cool calculators take into consideration many different items such as how much you and your parents made, how many kids you/parents have, how old your parents are, etc.  then they come up with a number: efc or expected family contribution.  this is how much your family is expected to pay for you to go to school.  this number is sent to whatever schools you want.  the number doesn't change so it is up to the school to create a financial aid package to make up the difference (let's say your efc is $1,000 and the school costs $20,000, then.... the school has to find you $19,000 in aid).  \n\ni always tell my students (who generally have an efc of 0 cuz we live in a poor town) that they could have a beat up pinto or a brand new lexus and it will cost them the same.  sometimes they just have more loans.  but, hey, pay those later and get your education now.  hope this helps.

You are eligible to receive financial aid up to your Cost of Attendance, which is a speficic figure set by your school.  Until very recently, schools weren't allowed to include housing (on- or off-campus) costs in the COAs of *part-time* students, which may be why you haven't been eligible before.  If you become full-time, your COA is likely to include a "reasonable" amount for housing, books, transportation, etc. It can include other "necessities," too (at the school's discretion).  If you can live on a budget, your financial aid might be able to cover your bills (it really depends on how much you spend on rent, etc).\n\nKeep in mind that there are limits to the amount of grant aid that you can receive, regardless of whether your school COA is $10,000 or $40,000 -- so you may not be able to cover your entire COA (and get money for rent) with just grants like Pell and SEOG.  However, you will be allowed to borrow loans (Federal or private, depending on your level of Financial Need) to cover your remaining costs.  Chances are that your friend either (1) borrows loans, (2) receives generous instutitional scholarship, (3) doesn't go to a very expensive school, or (4) all of the above.  This would be why he has financial aid left over after his bill has been paid...

Enroll in school and take out a student loan for living expenses.  You'll get your money in like 6 to 8 weeks and an education.  You can take one out each semester and you'll qualify for financial aid to cover your school expenses.  summer semesters are starting.

Being a non-resident will prevent you from getting most kinds of Federal or State aid.  But, private schools and state-funded schools (in some instances) often have funds for which non-residents are eligible.\n\nAll of this depends very much on the particular school, so you really need to contact the Financial Aid office at the school or schools you are interested in attending.  Explain your situation to them and ask them what's available.  They're there to help you.

I have transferred schools 4 times..When school starts, all your aid will transfer to your new school.  (though you may have to ask your new school to transfer it).. Even if you are currently in repayment, the repayment will stop as long as you are carrying at least part time hours...Good luck and  hope I helped
