A deceased parent and other funds

I can’t confirm that they are making revisions because I also applied for independent status, and some of my aid was taken away (relatively small fees)

The parent Plus Loan isn’t available to you THIS year either…at least not one your mother might have taken out.

Did you receive an email that your FAFSA was corrected? Do you have your corrected financial aid award (if your EFC is still $0, you would still get the full Pell and the Direct Loan)?

You just need to talk to financial aid about the extra $4000 loan for independent students.

So you got no PP loans, ever? No PP funds borrowed? Then, that door is closed.

You can confirm whether the college is making these revisions (or has.) They have the ability, but you want to be certain nothing is needed from you. Ask your FA folks. Collect any questions, talk to them.
