<p>Hi, for the winter quarter of 2010 I was wondering why I only received $891 of credit from Federal Pell Grant. I received $1783 for the fall quarter of 2009, which is twice as much as for this quarter. The total amount offered was $5350, so three payments of $1783 would make sense. I’m wondering who I should contact to talk about this issue. I e-mailed <a href=“mailto:finaid@ucsd.edu”>finaid@ucsd.edu</a> about this, is that the right contact? Thanks!</p>
<p>Are you a part-time student now?</p>
<p>No, I am still a full-time student.</p>
<p>Well assuming that you’re saying credit as money that was put into your bank account, then that means that whatever you were given was what is left over after all the fees you paid.</p>
<p>Remember, you’ll be given less this quarter and even less next quarter b/c of fee increases</p>
<p>No I’m talking about money that would be paid towards tuition which is shown through the Triton Link Billing Statements. Even if fee increases, I don’t understand why financial aid would decrease… it states in the financial aid packet that I’d receive $5350 so why would I suddenly only receive $870 this quarter?</p>
<p>Yeah i didnt get my full amount for the pell grant either… it gave me half of what it normally does</p>
