When will my Pell Grant come?

Paying for College

<p>I go to the University of North Florida. I am supposed to have Pell Grant and Loan money coming to me. When will it come? I started class on January 6th. I really need this money now! I can't pay my bills without it!</p>

No. The Pell Grant & Student Loan will be sent to the school. After your expenses are deducted, the school will refund any excess to you. The timing of any refund will depends on the schools, usually a few weeks after the classes started.</p>

You could contact your financial aid office about your financial aid refund (if any).</p>

<p>Check with your school. My daughter’s school usually issued checks for FA in excess of direct expenses about 2 weeks after the semester started. My son’s school was really slow - usually took 4-6 weeks.</p>

<p>did you start college in the spring? Did you go last to college last fall?</p>

<p>Did you fill out the right FAFSA? (the one for the current school year)?</p>

<p>Did you check your online portal for your school? Maybe the funds are already there.</p>

<p>You’ll only get half of a year’s Pell for the Spring semester.</p>
