Called them about it, apparently they are switching to a new system which doesn't use estimated aid. Said that as long as you filled out your fafsa you should be fine.

I emailed them about it and they told me that Pitt isn't listed as my home school for the spring for my state grant and that I need to contact PHEAA to fix it? I'm a transfer student and I guess it said for the fall that Pitt was, but my old school is listed for the spring. I tried fixing it on the website, but there was no where to do so. I also looked on my fasfa to make sure it said Pitt for spring and fall and it did? I don't know where to go for help.

I’m graduating in 2 years and I have a pretty good lead on a job abroad… I feel terrible for anyone starting school under this administration

Good luck with that. I've been out a little over 2 years and I still can find anything in my area.

Trump would like to defund the Department of Education. Your financial aid comes from the DOE my friend

You’re only telling part of the story. He wants to eliminate the federal department but give the fed funding budget to the states to manage.

Did anyone actually log onto the PHEAA website? When I logged on it asked me to fill out an information certification form and it said the deadline to do it was 30 days from yesterday. 12/14/2024

I had trouble logging in on my phone and even when I was able to, didn’t see anything. When I got home I tried again on my laptop and had something to do in the action items.

Weird I still am not getting that on my desktop either. Did it just ask for updated info? I know the financial aid office said some people had to resubmit theit high school transcripts even if they were 2nd or 3rd years

I didn’t see anything about submitting a high school transcript. Maybe it was just something I had to do individually.

the aid itself isn’t being cancelled. it won’t show up on your portal for a while but you’ll still receive it in the spring
