Yuppie!!!! I don't know how much. I will let you know when I receive the first check. I am excited! I am still looking for work, but the extra income will help me a lot with the rent, food, and my children! Yes!!!!
No, they are also helpful in paying bills. That is what the counselor told me. She told me they are useful especially when students like me don't have good work.
That is great! It must be a relief having the financial assistance. It will help you focus on your courses when you don't have to worry so much about money.
I get a Pell Grant every quarter for school...I never knew that you could use it for other things besides college?? I know that helps out so I don't have to pay the money for college. It would be very expensive if I didn't get one. Now you can have less worries and you will do better in school.
After reading the award notification, I found out all the information. The Pell Grant is used to pay for tuition and fees. After that is paid, any remaining balance goes to me and I can use it for anything such as the rent, paying bills, or buying food.
