Hey , I just got my pell grant for 2,220 . And my Sara was 00000 . How I’m gonna live with 2,220 for 3 months in California?
Is your home state california?
Your “sara was 00000”
What does that mean?
Are you a CA resident? Where do you plan to go to college?
^^^
My guess is that the SAR showed the FAFSA EFC was $0.
So…to the OP…was this a refund of Pell money? What exactly are you talking about.
The federal Pell grant can be combined with state aid (if you are a California resident), a student loan, and money from the colllege (if you’re getting any it will be in your financial aid offer).
Ideally someone with high need has
- Applied to multiple colleges to be able to compare financial aid offers
- Researched whether each college on the list is generous before applying
