How much of my pell grant will I receive?

I started college in the fall semester with a full schedule of 19 credit hours, I paid for my expenses myself. I applied for a pell grant last week for the spring semester and they said I would receive full amount. Will I receive anything for the fall semester to help cover those expenses even though I applied late for the pell grant? thanks

    I would think so, since pell grants are awarded on a YEARLY term and not a SEMESTER. So, if your total is $4045 for the year, you would get $2021.50 each semester. That said, if you applied late, I'm pretty sure you will get the amount for the fall semester in the Spring. I'm not completely sure, you might want to check your school's financial aid office website as well.

    Pell promises are disbursed in accordance with choose. The numbers offered from earnings tax counsel (yours and your parents, i'm assuming) are used to confirm your predicted relatives persons contribution (EFC). the greater advantageous the EFC, the less probable somebody is to get a Pell furnish. Monies for Pell promises do now no longer come from an countless source. The later you prepare for FAFSA, the less danger you have of offered that investment obtainable. it somewhat is a broadly used come first serve beginning up. in the form that your loved ones somewhat has a economic choose; a confirm lost a job, etc....you should petition your economic help director for a expert judgment. FAFSA does not have everywhere to coach if somebody has been out of artwork for say, the main suitable six months, which will dramatically alter a pupils economic help status. in view which you have no longer have been given from now on shared plenty counsel this is with connection with the main suitable i'm able to furnish. I understand you're disillusioned, yet regrettably, you at the instant are no longer the only one available in this party. human beings could 'look solid on paper' besides the shown fact that the reality of existence is that each and one and all human beings is suffering. solid fulfillment to you.
