Can I get my pell grant money that i dont use? ?

Question

I got pell grants for summer, fall and spring. I used all of my summer and most of my fall and maybe all of it and i havnt used my spring only a little for to pay abill from a summer class because they said they couldnt use my fall only my spring but i know i had enough funds in my fall to cover for it because after i asked them if i could use it i bought a bunch of books with it and i think their is some left over. If their is some of my fall pell grant left over and they wont let me use it for anything else will i get the rest of it bacause i heard that when people dont use all their pell they get the rest of the money.? If i do get it will i have to wait till i graduate or can i get it when i am finished with the fall and spring semester

Answer 1

Real schools normally don't dispurse Pell grants in the summer.  Only in Fall and Spring.  If yours did, you need to 1.  Be sure it's not actually money from a loan you took out and 2. Let them know you want any left over money sent to you. Usually you can look at your financial aid Award Letter to let you know how much aid you were awarded in Pell for the year.

If this is an on line school or a tech school, rules are different and you need to contact them to know for sure.
