Hi y’all, I’m just wondering, is there anyone here who is enrolled or was enrolled in the teaching credentialing program at CSUSB and received a federal Pell grant/middle class scholarship?
I’m starting the Multiple Subject Credential program at Cal State San Bernardino, and I’m confused about my financial aid. The financial aid office told me I’m not eligible for a Federal Pell Grant anymore.** However, when I checked my StudentAid account, it shows I’ve only used 97% of my 600% Pell Lifetime Eligibility, **so I still have plenty of eligibility remaining.
-Before I graduated with my bachelor’s degree, I specifically asked CSUSB whether I’d still qualify for Pell while in the credential program, and they told me that credential students are treated as undergraduate students for financial aid purposes but now they told me credentialing students don’t receive Pell grants.
-I don’t have a post-baccalaureate degree just my bachelors. I meet the satisfactory academic progress requirements.
The aid is not showing on my coyote but fafsa says I’m eligible. Other friends who are undergrads told me their financial aid already shows on their account.
