FA was awarded unevenly... question.

^ Will do.

There was actually quite a mix-up last year with my aid and it constantly changed over the year (partially because the Michigan “Promise” gag scholarship was in limbo for months). Therefore, I have just learned to be vigilant about aid.

It also happened to me over the summer. The paper work for my study abroad aid got “lost” and the only reason that I ever found out was because I had to go ask the financial aid office about summer Pell Grants. Apparently the study abroad office had had a computer issue and some people’s financial aid applications never got sent to the financial aid office. They, of course, never bothered to tell people who were studying abroad. Who knows how many people didn’t get aid because of this?

Needless to say, I have sort of learned not to trust the FA process at my U. That’s why I turn here first. (Love my U, hate the “processes” lol)
