Hi all! I am a senior this year and have been awarded the 21st Century Scholar Scholarship and the Pell Grant for my entire college career. I have never failed any of the requirements needed to be a 21st Century Scholar. However, today I received a statement from the school busar stating that I owed over $4,000. I checked the statement and it showed that the 21st Century Scholar Scholarship was removed from my account today? I never received any information as to why, it was just gone. I have a 3.4 GPA and am enrolled in 18 credit hours this semester. I have tried reaching out to my school’s financial aid, however, they have not contacted me yet. Has anyone ever experienced something like this? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
Definitely talk to your FA dept. Have you checked the reqmts online to make sure you are adhering to them? https://scholars.in.gov/ Are you in your 4th year?
I have sent an email to the FA department. I am in my 4th year and I have adhered to the guidelines every semester. The school did not notify me of ay reason that this would happen.
There’s an email address and phone number for the student support center that might help.

They also suggest contacting the Scholar Corps member if your campus has one. Here’s the list of contacts for those members.
