<p>I got a statement from my college that i owe at least 5k dollars which seems unreal considering i had a 0 balance at the start of the semester. Based on the statement i received in the mail, i noticed the Federal Pell Grant got removed and the NYS TAP was never applied to my account. Hers what i noticed on my statement i received:
01/14/2011 - Federal Pell Grant - 2775.00
01/26/2011 - Federal Pell Grant - -2775.00</p>
<p>How come the college never notified me that the pell was removed from my account. I also have $2,400.50 that i accepted from the NYS Tap program and i noticed that still not posted on my account. I also noticed just now that i have an hold on my account that states this: Proof of HS Grad to Admissions that was posted on 01/26/2011 which is a bit BS considering i gave admission, and the fin. aid office 3 copies of my hs and associates degree</p>
<p>So can anyone clue me in on whats going on so? All of the offices is closed right now and i cant do anything until tomorrow afternoon but i will like some background information on how the pell was removed, tap not applied and they need my hs degree again for the 4th time</p>
<p>Was the Pell paid to your account before, and was it just recently removed? It sounds like that was the case. </p>
<p>Did you make ANY changes to your 2010-11 FAFSA recently? Even adding a school code can create problems. Were you selected for verification? If you were not selected before & made a subsequent change to your FAFSA, you might now be selected. If so, your Pell grant will back off. </p>
<p>There are several other possibilities, but this is the most common.</p>
<p>Pell was paid and then recently removed</p>
<p>No changes where made to the 2010-11 FAFSA, i just checked and this is what that fafas says for that the 2010-2011

<p>I got selected for verification back in December, a month before the semester started and thats why the latest correction says 12/22/2010 </p>
<p>Could it be that the due to the missing HS grad hold on my account could cause the pell to be removed. Overall, it dont make sense to me AT ALL that a week before the semester started i had 0 balance,nothing owe, pell was on my account and admission had all of the required papers. So how come 2 and half months later, i am noticing this?</p>
<p>I am taking 4 classes, worth 13 credits so i should still be considered a full time student</p>
<p>The hold shouldn’t affect your aid, but you never know.</p>
<p>I can’t figure out what would cause the aid to back off now if there were no changes made since before the holidays. You are just going to have to wait & ask, unfortunately. I am pretty good at trouble shooting Pell issues, but this one is one you’ll need to ask your school.</p>
<p>I got admission in CUNY Queens College and I got tap grant of 2500 and pell of 2775 so is this the actual amount if not i need to know how much usually students get I have an EFC of 0 plz reply soon</p>
