FAFSA ISSUE FOR HELPLESS F-1 International Student - Maryland ?!?

Question

Hi people!

Please provide me ideas to solve this.

I am a international student who filled up FAFSA ( the federal financial aid ) by accident.

I did not get the federal grant but is offered the Maryland state grant of USD2000 for 2008/2009.

This money really help because I am having problems to pay for my tuition fees.

I don't think my financial aid officer is willing to help.

Can I contact Maryland Education Commitee or Any other solution to get this money?

.....Sigh.....

Answer 1

You can contact whoever you want, but they aren't going to give it to you.  The money is not yours to take.  

By coming here on a F-Visa, you had to prove you had the money and resources to fund your education without finanicial assistance.  You are expected to live up to this agreement.
