Hello guys and gals. I have a question that has me panicking. I have been receiving my Pell Grant since 2011, but as a part time student I have only used 225%. I am approaching 6 years in college, will I lose my Pell Grant next year?
You will not lose any Pell until you have reached 600%.
You may run into SAP issues for being enrolled in school more than 150% of the standard time to complete the program, though.
Well I just started my Bachelors last year after I tranferred with my AA.
If you do run into SAP issues, just be sure to follow the appeal instructions. One of the drawbacks of recent SAP changes the government made is that part-time students sometimes end up in SAP trouble. That doesn’t necessarily mean you would lose your aid … but you would definitely want to do whatever is necessary to appeal it and retain the aid.
Alright, thanks so much kelsmom.
