FAFSA Stress

<p>^Last academic year they were still doing second Pells (summer Pells) in same academic year–not this year. Last year if you got 1st Pell over fall and sprg semesters—that was 1st Pell–the Pell money you got in summer was a 2nd Pell grant. That ended with last summer–no more 2nd Pells. The 6 year cap for getting Pells is I guess to keep some students from abusing Pell program and staying in school forever living off Pell money. </p>

<p>Contact FSU financial aid office if you have questions about awards for summer; they can help you best.</p>

<p>“Note: Fiscal Year 2011 appropriations eliminated the allowance of receiving up to two consecutive Pell Grant awards during a single award year. Beginning with the 2011-12 award year, you may receive only one Pell Grant award during a single award year.”</p>
