Attention!
Did you receive Pell Grant in the Summer Quarter OR transferred to Foothill College in mid year?
April 19, 2012
Students who attended and received Pell Grant in summer or transferred in mid year after receiving aid at another school. In many cases Pell Grant amounts received in the summer term of the 11-12 year may need to be deducted from your spring quarter disbursement due to annual maximums. If you see a smaller amount in spring than expected, that is likely the case. You still received the appropriate amount, but part was received earlier in the year.
