So, it turns out that there is a new federal law that limits your lifetime use of Pell grants. It limits you to 600% of your full eligible amount for one year. What that means for me is that I am almost out of Pell grant: I am at 550%.
And I am super-frustrated. I feel like every semester, some new obstacle is placed in my path. Like there is no hope for me to ever finish school. I am feeling disheartened.
Add to that feeling overwhelmed by school in general and I am feeling more and more inclined to just quit, tbh. Not that I will. But I sure think about it.
I was thinking that at least in the fall and spring I would be able to go full-time because my residency will be fixed, but if I can't get a Pell grant, that might not happen.
