    Thanks for the great information. Since the ISIR is now a SAI (correct) where is it located in the form?

    • @TheScholarshipSystem
      @TheScholarshipSystem Před 5 dny

      The SAI may be sent via email a few days after submitting FAFSA or it can be found in the Submission Summary after FAFSA has been processed. You can find the Submission Summary in the FAFSA dashboard after logging into the account.

    I qualified for the max amount of fasfa but the school only allowed me to accept 2270 and then made me take the test in loans even though the fasfa would have almost fully covered the tuition they also wouldn’t let me take the full amount of loans to have money to live on is there anything I can do

    • @TheScholarshipSystem
      @TheScholarshipSystem Před 7 dny

      You might want to contact your school's financial aid office to find out why there is a difference from FAFSA award amounts vs what the school offered you. You may want to appeal the offer and explain your situation.

  • @jessielynnbenton
    @jessielynnbenton Před 8 dny

    I am in a 30 week program it is continuos with no breaks in between the 5 week courses. They only allowed me to accept partial loans and partial Pell 2700 and loans 6500 the tuition is 8200 and I am a single parent of 3 qualified for the max amounts of the loans and the Pell but they won’t let me take it only gave me the option to accept or decline and it bothers me that the Pell grant would have almost covered the full tuition so if they didn’t want me to have living expenses they could have gave me the Pell and made me take the min amount of loans to cover the rest of the tuition is there anything I can do

    My award was the max amount but the school only allowed me to accept 2270 of the Pell and then the rest had to be in loans. It shows the school disbursed to me a small portion of the amount I was allowed is there anything I can do about it

      It depends if the school practices "displacement" or not. You may want to contact the school to find out how they apply outside scholarships.
