When you say you "received" a Pell grant, do you mean you were simply awarded one (for example, on an award letter from your Financial Aid office)?  Or was it actually disbursed?  If the money was disbursed and you later withdrew, the money will need to be returned (unless you completed 60% of the semester or more).  If you never began the semester and no money was disbursed, you're fine. The school will know you're not enrolled (just make sure of this) and they won't disburse anything for non-enrolled students.\n\nIt's the school's responsibility to make sure that they haven't disbursed any Pell money for a student who isn't in attendance.  It's not up to you to know all the nitty-gritty rules. Don't worry about it.

If you and your family did not make enough money to be required to file a tax return then you should select the option on your FAFSA that says "Will Not File".  You will still be required to enter in all of the income on you and your parents W2 forms.  The college will also require you and your parents to fill out IRS Form 4506–T before they will give you any financial aid.  On the IRS form, enter your personal information and select "Verification of Nonfiling".  The IRS will mail you and your parents a letter of proof that you did not file a return for last year.  Simply take the letter to the college along with a copy of you and your parents W2 to receive the financial aid you are eligible for.  This extra step is required as a security precaution to prevent people from lying about their income to receive additional financial aid.

Fill out the FAFSA.  They will give you information on the PELL Grant (a federal grant), any state grants, and any loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) you may be eligible for.

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.

Your first step should be to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid). If the government determines you have a financial need to help pay for college they will give you the pell grant. You should also apply for local scholarships at the college you wish to attend. Contact the college financial aid office to see what programs that have available. Also ask about work-study programs where you receive payments towards your tuition in return for working at the college.

The government funds the Pell grant. You need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Finanical Aid. They will also approve you for low intrest rate loans that you don't have to repay until you graduate.

set up a meeting with the advisors in the financial aid office of your school. you will have to declare emancipation from your parents. that means they will not be able to declare you for income tax purposes in the future but you will qualify for far more aid than you would under their income. \ni'm pretty sure that load in default will continue to haunt you anyway. you need to notify that loan company that you are still attending classes so they can defer the loan while you are still studying. don't stop until you get someone to listen to your story.

Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to fill out the info for a Pell Grant.  Once your in college, depending on your major, many departments may have additional grants.\n\nA word of caution, if anyone says they can get you grant info for free and wants to "charge" you for it, I wouldn't recommend it!!!\n\n\n\nGood Luck...\n\nBy the way...I am a 33 year old single mum with 2 young kids (my parents stopped supporting me financially years ago LOL). I am putting myself through college "on my own" with the grants.  I have not needed loans yet, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I might suggest talking to the Financial aid folks at the University that you are interested. At least they might be able to point you in the right direction.

THere's nothing much you can do. I would expain to them that your dad filed an extension and you don't have his taxes. I know FAFSA lets you file without taxes - you file your taxes as an estimation. Maybe you can see if the school will let you estimate the taxes for financial aid - and then when the actual taxes are filed, then give them those. Have you filed for FAFSA? I know the priority deadline was March 1 - but otherwise get it in by June 1 and you can still get money. Talk to the financial counselor at the school and just explain the situation to them and see if they have any ideas for you.\n\nGood luck!

If you are talking about college, then try a Pell Grant. Go to the college and see the financial department about the paperwork and the steps in filing for one. Pell Grants are grants that they give to people who can't afford it, and you don't have to pay them back. If you are talking about High School, then you should really enjoy not having to pay bills etc. you really don't appreciate not having to pay those bills until you have to pay them.

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.

Start out with the FAFSA.  It is the initial financial aid form you fill out with the government.  They take about 6 to 8 weeks to evaluate your award after you submit it to your school completed.  Once that is returned then you will either be awarded a grant (you don't have to pay it back) a subsidized loan (they pay the interest while you are in school) or an unsubsidized loan (you accumulate interest while in school).  If all of those sources do not cover your expenses (and they are justifiable) then there are plus loans and private loans that you can go to private banks for.  There is no need to go to a bank until you have exhausted the governments programs, however.  \n\nGo to the federal financial aid website to get started or if you still have questions go to the financial aid office at your school.\n\nBTW, schools often have a program (emergency loan) where they will lend you a little money to tide you over until this stuff gets processed.  It is not very much usually, like $100 or $200.
