I am currently a freshman at an university, sophomore next year. I have already filled out my FAFSA for next school year, but I will be taking a science, and possibly math, class over the summer at my local community college. I will need finical aid for those classes. I contacted the finical aid adviser here at my university and he said that I may be able to get a Pell grant but I might have to be a "degree seeking student" (which I thought I was...?) in order to qualify for it. He then went on to tell me that I should take classes at my university this summer, but I know they will cost more and I don't want to travel from home to my university every day since its a 45 minute drive. After this he told me to contact FAFSA. So I contacted FAFSA and they told me that it depended on the school and certain schools made you use a different form than the one you used for your fall/spring FAFSA. Neither my finical adviser or FAFSA were helpful and I need to know what I have to do to get money for this summer. Should I try calling the community college I will be take classes at this summer? Or should I try calling FAFSA back and speak to someone different?
