My son, who will complete his first undergraduate degree in May, is applying for a 4-2 program in engineering whereby he will earn a second undergraduate degree in engineering after 2 more years. Can he apply for, and receive federal aid? For the purposes of the FAFSA, what year of school will he be in next semester? Any other words of wisdom concerning financial aid for this case would be appreciated.
From Internet:
“If a student is seeking a second Bachelor’s degree, she will not be able to get a Pell Grant regardless of whether she received federal student aid in the past or not. (Such a student remains eligible for the Federal Stafford loan, up to the annual and aggregate loan limits, as well as the Federal Work-Study program.)”
