I have an EFC of 0 so I was able to get the Pell Grant and the Texas Grant for a total of 11 grand, and on top of that I got 10 grand more from merit scholarships. But yesterday I received an email saying that I had received the TEXAS Grant but that I needed to do some documentation before hand, so I did it. The problem is that when I went on my University’s website the TEXAS Grant had been taken off, idk if it was until the documentation is processed or if they decided they were giving me too much money. What do you guys think? And do you have any experience with this?
Ask the financial aid office. It could be a transition when they are updating the award, however, it may also be due to the merit scholarships that have reduced your need.
Yeah you were right. Getting more money from scholarships allowed them to take off some of my financial aid. Kind of disappointing getting better grades and higher test scores ends up biting you in the ass
