Financial Aid stole Pell Grant?

my understanding is that Pell pays for up to 4 academic years. If she has been receiving the Pell Grant her entire college career, she more than likely has expired on time (and $$). 18 extra credit hours is close to a semester of course of work, and major change or not, she is probably on the hook for the last quarter or two. Pell can’t just pay for changed minds and lifelong college students. They have to set a limit to control the program.

Side note…her boss sounds wacky.
