semester off? After finding out I was getting some pretty good grants, I got a second letter recently that said my award was being withheld since I took Spring 2009 off to work. Though I could have had half my tuition paid via federal loan, it was a highly unstable time for my finances. I was unable to apprehend a bank loan for the other half in time and, therefore, took the semester off to work instead.
I fully intend to go back at the end of this summer and into the fall until I finish, but this is a possible major hiccup in how I intend to pay for it.
I can get the award back, but I need to provide a compelling enough reason to appeal to the Financial Aid Board. Though I'm telling the truth, I want to be fully prepared and not destroy any chance of getting my grants back.
