I’m 39 years old and recently applied and was accepted to an online college in my home state. I also applied for federal aid but haven’t heard anything until today. I contacted the financial aid dept of the school and was told I was on Financial aid suspension. How can this be ? I’ve never applied for financial aid until now. I went to college in 1994 and withdrew after one semester. Please help !
In order to get federal aid, you have to be in SAP guidelines. So it seems that your previous one semester had grades that disqualify you from aid at the new institution. Google for the student handbook online or just for the Satisfactory Academic Progress guidelines of your new college. You may have to self pay until you can bring the cum gpa up to SAP. Try talking to an academic adviser ir admission officer about it, but I recommend you read the policies first, and the federal pages about SAP so that you understand the basics.
