I haven't posted a thread in awhile but I had a quick question about tuition credit and was getting mixed advice so I was wondering if NT could help me out from personal experience
So, for the Spring 2010 semester I had to take out a $10,000 loan for St. John's University..I was given Financial Aid, some of which was a Pell Grant for $2,500..When I checked my term bill, it showed that my term balance was -$5,000...My girl goes to a Community College and anytime her balance is -$#### she gets a check in the mail..But since its a community college I'm sure the rules are a little different
My question is, if I go to the Financial Aid office and ask for the difference, do I get a check? I'm thinking if anything they will send back the extra money from the loan company but technically a Pell Grant is money to help with school expenses so shouldn't I at least be getting the 2500 Pell Grant money?
Any advice is greatly appreciated
