Hello, I have signed up for classes and accepted my award for my financial aid. It seems they have cut me short from what I was supposed to get? The pell grant they said was for 5900 a year, or about 2900 a semester, but now it looks like they are doing 4000 a year, or 2000 a semester. But, since I am doing community college the 4000 a year is barely enough for tuition. Any reason why they would cut me short? Thanks
How many credits are you currently enrolled in? Your Pell grant is based on enrollment. If you are enrolled in 9-11 credits for fall you will only get $2,220 for the semester. Another possibility is changes made during verification - did you have to submit verification documents? If your EFC changed from 0 to 501-600, your Pell grant would be reduced to $4,000 for the year.
Are you taking more than 12 units?
I am taking exactly 12 credits
My EFC is 00000
Call the school and ask …
I figured it out, I was getting 1900 per term (3 terms) I though there was only 2

Ah, a trimester school - those are tricky devils! Glad you got it figured out.
