Is the same amount of Pell money awarded each time a semester begins, or divided into for each school semester

Not sure what exactly you mean, but you don't necessarily even qualify for pell grants each year.  You fill out the paperwork annually & they look at your/your parents tax returns to determine if you qualify.\n\nSince you do just fill it out once per year, I would think that the amount you receive is set for the year & is most likely divided between the semesters you plan to enroll, or is applied to the full year in advance.

They won't double your money if that is what you are asking. They will pay the maximum they usually pay for one school, but you're on your own for the other one.

Yes.  The maximum amount of Financial Aid that you can receive is based on your "Cost of Attendance," which is determined by the Financial Aid Office .  Schools are allowed to include the following items in your COA:\n\n* tuition & fees\n* room & board (on- or off-campus)\n* a "reasonable amount" for books, supplies (in some cases, a computer), transportation, miscellaneous expenses\n* dependent care\n* study abroad expenses\n* loan fees\n* employment expenses for co-op study\n\nPretty much, you can get financial aid up to the amount of your COA.

They don't usually send it thru the mail...you usually pick up a check at the school. For new students, it's anywhere from 45-60 days after school starts. For returning students, about 4 weeks into school. They want to be sure you are not going to get your money and then quit. Different schools have different time frames..check with your school

It's possible, but only the issuer of the scholarship can answer that.  You may want to review the conditions of your scholarship to see.  I know I won a scholarship from my dad's union, and I got half up front for fall semester, but I had to bring in my report card before I got the second half for spring.

When it comes to Pell, where you live has little to do with the amount you'll receive.  To put it another way: odds are good that if your income is already low enough to make you Pell-eligible, you would receive the same amount of Pell whether you live on- or off-campus. Basically, when calculating your total educational costs, most schools will factor in some type of housing costs, regardless of whether you are paying for on-campus R&B.\n\nWhy is this important?  Well, the amount of your Pell Grant is calculated using a table that compares your Cost of Attendance ("COA," which is fixed, school-determined figure that usually includes housing) with your Expected Family Contribution ("EFC," which of course, is based on your family's income, assets, household size, etc.).  \n\nNOTE: For student's whose Cost of Attendance is less than $4,050, Pell Grant amounts are pro-rated (basically, so that the student doesn't receive more Pell than it takes to pay for his/her costs).  Of course, these days, most schools cost a lot more than $4,050/year when you factor in housing and all that --  so let's assume that your school costs more than this...\n\nA full-time student with a $0 EFC who attends a school that costs, say, $5,000/year will be offered a $4,050 Pell Grant.  Notably, a student with a $0 EFC who attends a $30,000/year school will also be offered a $4,050 Pell Grant.  Pell is capped at $4,050 for just about every income level; the minimum Pell Grant is $400.  \n\nIf you kno what your EFC is and you know roughly how much your school costs, you can calculate your own Pell Grant here: http://www.ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/attachments/2006paysched.pdf\n\nEDIT (to the answerer above me): Pell has NEVER been as high as $2,500 a semester.  EVER.  Goodness knows we'd love that to happen, but Congress has left Pell stuck at $2,025/semester for years now...

Yes, check with your lenders. It doesnt matter if your semester started or not as long as your enrolled. However b careful some lenders won't send the money directly to you but instead to the school.

im not quite sure about #1 because the times have varied slightly when ive applied for mine...\n\nfor the second answer youll know how much help youre getting because you get a letter in the mail stating how much youre getting etc...\n\nyour classes wont be dropped but if financial aid doesnt cover them your liable to pay the school before you can go your next semester (atleast at mine its that way)

Depends.\nWe get paid by the year, not by the hour or day.  So, we get paid for the work we do in the school year.  My district offers a choice: you can take your paycheck divided for 10 months (so no summer pay, but bigger schoolyear paychecks) or 12 months (paid all summer too, but smaller checks.)\n\nSo, it depends on the district.  But we're not getting paid for work we're not doing, we're just spreading out the "wealth"!

It may vary depending on your institution, but at the university I attend, you can get on the Dean's List after each semester ends, starting from the Freshmen Year. \n\nBut my school does not have quarter semesters.. we only have a Fall and a Spring semester per year.

Your fafsa student aid report or whatever it is called will tell you what your EFC is (expected family contribution)  even if it is 0, this does not guarantee that the school you are going to will award you enough money to cover all expenses,  each college calculates their student money differently.  The best thing to do is go into the Financial Aid office of your school and see what steps are still needed.  Make sure you are told what scholarships are available through your school as well.  You should also do a search for scholarships on the web, there is always money out there for students.  Good luck

students loans and grants are generally based on how much one earned the last income tax periodso the less you earned, the more they are likely to loan and grant you\n\nsince both periods are based on 2005 income tax, they should be the same amount

you should receive an award letter in the mail saying that you will recieve the grant. but if you look on the fafsa website www.fafsa.ed.gov you should be able to find something that will answer your question that is if you are talking about your federal pell grant

when i was in college it was all done on the same form, the federal student aid form.  i had both a pell grant and student loans.  check out www.studentaid.ed.gov and www.fafsa.org   hope this helps.

depending on the school and the instructor of course, but yes it is!\n\nTry for 1 month once or twice a week. Then you will know!

Yes, the PELL grant continues to fund your education as long as you are making academic progress overall (maintaining the minimum GPA to stay in school).  You can even fail the odd class.  I would check with your financial aid counselor.\n\nYou could also do a little reading on the subject below.  I know, it is a drag...but it's character building (don't you hate it when they say that...good!)
