<p>I receive my acceptance letter from the University of Puerto Rico this week and if I go, I’ll start on January 17. Since I’m out of state, their policy is that I have to pay my previous school’s tuition if I attend rather then a set out of state tuition (UCF, $3,619/year). </p>
<p>I can use FAFSA in Puerto Rico, but I don’t know how to go about tranferring my account to a different university, especially mid-year.</p>
<p>First of all…FAFSA isn’t the one who gave you money. Your current university and the federal government gave you money. SO…any aid you received at your current university is to be used AT your current university. You can go online to the FAFSA website and have your current FAFSA (the one for 2007-08) sent to your new university where they will consider any financial aid award for you. BUT as with all other answers…why don’t you make a call to the University of Puerto Rico and ASK THEM. Do it quickly…this week…before the holiday break.</p>
<p>Thanks, I thought it was solely government controlled.</p>
<p>Is this where I change the information?

<p>Also, I’ll be living with my grandmother. Do I add it to the form this year if I am to alter it, or do I wait until next yet?</p>
<p>THumper is correct. The only thing the fafsa does is determine your eligiblity for federal aid (pell, stafford/ perkins loans) It is up to your school to determine how much aid (if any) you are eligible for.</p>
<p>It does not matter who you live with you will have to supply the income /assets information from your custodial parent.</p>
<p>What you would do is do a correction to your current FAFSA and add the school in PR.</p>
<p>You want to add the school in Puerto Rico AND submit the FAFSA to them.</p>
