So I've found this fourm about 1 year ago. Took some time off to have twins. So finishing up my last 3cr hours this summer. Ive been working on my BA since 2002 on and off. More off than on, lol. Anyhow, I did my FAFSA so I could take a BA cert at APU in infant education. Well since I wouldn't have a BA until August officially, I had to do undergrad FAFSA for 2012-2013. Well I got this email today.

Dear Alecia:
We want to alert you to a recent change in the law that affects your Federal Pell Grant award for the 2012-2013 school year and beyond. *This change limits the total number of years a student may receive a Pell Grant to the equivalent of six years.
Based on our records, you have already received at least six years of Pell Grant funding. *This means that you are no longer eligible to receive Pell Grant funding, starting with the 2012-2013 school year. *Note that you still may be eligible for other federal, state, and school financial aid.
For information on how we calculate the "equivalent of six years" click on the following link: FSA Portals.
If you have questions about the information in this e-mail, please contact your school's financial aid office.

Do you know what this will do to the adult learner? They will have to drop out or take out loans. Which is going to make the federal student loan debt increase tremendously. This majorly sucks!!! Thank God I will be done before this goes into affect. But this is even more motivation for me to share all the wonderful information I've learned with others.
