Please! If u help ill give points!! -- Posted by ang42490424 at 9:12 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 You're getting 4755 dollars for college. Isn't it what it means? -- Posted by I was Amphigory at 9:16 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Sounds like you were given $1,437.00 to cover the cost of the spring semester. The Budget for your spring semester was $6,192, but with the finical aid you owe or still need 4,755 to pay it off. That is my best guess. I suggest you call the financial aid center to confirm. -- Posted by 12345678910987654321 at 9:16 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 It means there covering exactly what  money you need -- Posted by carnage44 at 9:18 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 You owe $4,755 from what I can tell. What did the fall bill look like? -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:20 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Quote: from I was Amphigory at 9:16 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Sounds like you were given $1,437.00 to cover the cost of the spring semester.

The thing i don't understand is how it could be that much. I'm taking 3 classes at a community college that are worth 12 credits combined, and my combined tuition for the classes is $827.00 so what could be costing so much extra? in the guide from the school it says to earn 12 credits like i am it will cost aproximatley $802.60 so  thats why i dont get it?? -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:21 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Quote: from carnage44 at 9:18 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 You owe $4,755 from what I can tell.

Ok so that makes sense, sounds like this finical aid covers more then just courses, but book costs, that's where the real money goes into in terms of community college. And I think the $4,000 left is what you will owe for the next 3 semesters. Like I said before, I wouldn't second guess this stuff. Call the finical aid center. -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:24 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Quote: from I was Amphigory at 9:23 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 9:20 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Quote: from I was Amphigory at 9:16 pm on Mar. 6, 2008 Sounds like you were given $1,437.00 to cover the cost of the spring semester.

Isn't it what it means? Not quite. They estimated tuition for you to be about $4755 and  you have been awarded (so far) $1437 to helps pay towards this. So you need to figure out how to pay the rest, which is $3318. You still have time to try to go for some scholarships and you may get some after Graduation. FPELL is Federal Pell Grant.
