Oh bah humbug

Does accepting the American Opportunity Credit automatically reduce the Pell grant?

I don't understand why FAFSA said I'm eligible for up to a $4400 Pell grant (knowing my income tax info), and the school says I only get $1800 (I got $3600, last year). And am I not eligible for any loans? I was last year!

Well, they also have this listed under the 2011-12 year, so I'm hoping it's another case of adventures in stooopid Financial Aid Officers (and their computers).

In other oddities, the aid sheet says I'm getting a $1000 scholarship in the Spring semester (of 2012...)

Maybe that accounts for the $100 refund check I got from the school the other day?

Financial Aid is an arcane art that is shrouded in mysteries and mysticism, not to mention no small amount of idiotic bureaucracy and moronic computer programs. I hope someone's able to help you sort it. {{hugs}}
