UMPI---Financial aid---???

[midnite123]

He will need to file the FAFSA and wait for UMPI to give him a financial aid offer. No one can say how much he will receive as everyone's situation is different. What does "full federal financial aid" mean? There are income requirements, past college experience, GPA requirements, etc. that go into a financial aid award.

12 credits in the Fall and 12 credits in the Spring? UMPI's YourPace program operates on 8 week terms so there are 2 Fall sessions. 12 credits in the Fall would only be 2 classes per term. This program is not like a typical 15 week long semester based program.

Financial aid awards cover entire semesters not terms. So the Fall award would cover both Fall 1 and Fall 2 terms. You're really way over estimating the finances by saying he'd collect $2K a month for each 8 week term.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply!!!

As much as I wanted to be clear in my original post,
I made a mistake!

I meant to say MAXIMUM FEDERAL LOAN,
not Fed FA.

I guess my first question is,
I know about the 8 week terms.
In those 8 week terms,
are you only allowed to take 6 credits, or can you take more than that?

He did get FASFA results of approximately $15,000,
when combing the Pell grant and Max loan amounts.
