<p>During Fall, I will be in my last semester at a community college. I will be taking 3 classes; two of which are required for my AA completion. The third class is required for admission for my transfer.
The classes total 12 credit hours and cost around $1,300. My Pell Grant for this year was initially set to $2,250. However, even though I considered myself a full-time student, (enrolled in 12 credit hours) it turns out that my school will not consider one of my classes eligible for financial aid purposes. They only care about my AA completion. Therefore, they will set my eligible credit hours to 8 and reduce my financial aid to half: $1,125. </p>
<p>First of all, I don't think it's fair for me not to get financial aid for my third class since it's decissive for my education.
Secondly, the "new" financial aid won't even cover my classes, not to mention that I would still have a lot of expenses left, including books, school supplies, and gas. </p>
<p>I have tried contacting my school for help but they couldn't assist me. How can I get the initial 2,250 that my FAFSA awarded me?</p>
