I went in to talk to the finaid counselors today and she told me that I had exceed some amount because of the SMART grant that she could not do anything for me. She said that the only thing that could be done is that they could reduce my Grant-in-aid money or the perkins loans amount, but I didn’t have a perkins loans and she said that it’s better to keep the grant money. The only other option was to write an appeal letter, which I had in hand already. So I turned in my appeal letter and hopefully something can be done about it, though I’m not optimistic about this one. The only thing I would want them to reduce in my stafford subsidized loans, but I have to decide whether or not to accept by the 23rd, which doesnt give enough time for them to look at and consider my letter.
what do you guys recommend me doing?
