Pell Grant Question

[Kirsten]

So in 2015 I was employed full time and made too much to qualify for the Pell Grant. I asked WGU if I could use my 2016 tax information instead of 2015. They said because I quit my job and had not been laid off or fired, I would be ineligible to request a special circumstance evaluation.

I asked my local community college the same question, and they said that they would approve that as a special circumstance. Would I be able to get it approved from my community college and then move it to WGU? Has anyone done this before?
