Applying For Grants



What is the best way to find these grants that are available and see if i would qualify?

Do you just have to write a essay on why you feel as though you should get one or is there an application process?

Hi I’ve been doing really bad in one of my classes. And I’m worried about having to pay my pell grant money back. If I get a failing grade in one class does that mean I have to pay back money?

Pell Grant



I think i’ll get a pell grant and my enhanced life scholarship for next school year. However i was hoping that i could still get the stafford loan even though my entire tuition would be covered by my enhanced life scholarship plus the pell grant.

So, can i still get the stafford loan even though my tuition would be covered IF (notice the caps) i got the pell grant ?

About College



I can’t seem to get ahold of the college that I have questions about, so do you think it would be rude to leave a message saying something like “Hi my name is Ashley, I’m currently in high school and I have a few questions about your school if you can please call me back at (555)555-5555 that would be great thanks.” …. What do you think?

Do medical schools care about your college course load each semester?

About College



Do medical schools care about your college course load each semester or do they only care that you’ve completed the pre-medical prerequisites? What I want to know is would someone who took a full load of difficult classes each semester/term be chosen over someone who just completed the minimum prerequisites and spaced them out?

Pell Grant



I was granted a Pell grant of $2365.00 for spring semester. They paid for my classes and deposited $841 into my account last week. That leaves $1,182.00 what happens to that? I did read My Disbursements letter and states if I’m going to school half time not full time that they deposit half of my grant but what happens to the other half? I’m going to go to summer college too does that cover my summer too or what happens?
