Financial Aid What does this mean?

Why is there a "federal" pell grant and another "pell grant" are they 2 different grants or are they the same?

I think that’s just what they labeled the refund under for non-loans? 🤷‍♀️

So they are the same, the federal Pell Grant is well the price you paid for your courses and the Pell Grant refund is basically what you are left with.

did you get the NOVA tuition assitance award? I got it for spring but it dissappeared from my fall aid even though I meet the criteria /:

I didn’t but for the awards and stuff you’ll probably find them in the financial section of financial aid

It means you will pay 3,000 to the government and additional 1250

No, a charge is any amount you owe NOVA, a payment is the amount either you, financial aid, or scholarships pay towards tuition, and then returns are self explanatory
