<p>I am taking classes in spring and I still haven't found out how much I am receiving in aid. I have filled out my fafsa and I haven't gotten an email or a letter or anything describing my award amount. Does anyone know how I may find this out. Our financial aid office is closed during spring break so I can't find out through them.</p>
<p>Are you a continuing student? If so, you may have to let your school know that you are interested in aid for spring/summer classes. That’s how it works where I work. Our students apply online for spring/summer aid - but they don’t always get any. The annual limits apply for the entire year, so if you’ve used up your annual limits on Stafford and/or Pell, you may not have any aid available to you. Also, for loans you must be enrolled at least 1/2 time, just like during the rest of the year.</p>
<p>Another thought: Does your school include this summer in the 2008-09 award year, or in the 2009-10 award year? You would need to have the correct FAFSA on file.</p>
<p>Summer aid is not awarded routinely by many schools. You must let the aid office know you are enrolling in spring/summer classes & are interested in aid. Usually it’s just loans or possibly work study - if you were less than full time during the year, you may have remaining Pell eligibility. </p>
<p>If you are a guest student at the school you will be attending for summer classes, you are not eligible for aid (including Stafford loans).</p>
