Expecting a financial aid refund check? 

Financial Aid was applied to student's bills this last weekend if registration and all paperwork was complete.

There has been a lot of discussion in the national media about cuts in the PELL grant. At this point, the PELL grant remains in place and the amount has not been reduced.

Awarding of financial aid will begin this week with summer aid as a priority. 

Congress has been dealing with many issues in Washington of which I am sure you have been aware. Balancing the budget has federal student aid taking possible cuts. Yesterday we learned the Pell Grant for the 11-12 year will stay at the level of last year, however, the Year-Round Pell will be eliminated. We do not know how the other programs may be affected at this time.
