If they won’t give the grants back, go to the director to appeal. If necessary, go to theu university president. You just saved them potential audit fines for their sloppy verification!!! Do NOT allow them to make you repay a penny that you originally had … as long as your EFC did not go UP during verification, of course. I used to work in a financial aid office, running the Pell program, as a matter of fact. I would have made sure that the school covered the balance of grants removed, had someone made a mistake like the one that was made with your file.
