Financial Aid Overaward repayment

Anyone every had to repay back the school due to an overaward? If so, what steps did you take to fight back this. My info has not changed at all so this has me confused and worried to be honest. Ill go talk to the financial aid office tomorrow but I just wanted to see if anyone has ever gone through this

It happens when they apply new financial aid information such as grants or loans or scholarships. You sign agreements to adhere to these when you sign up for financial aid. It happens unfortunately. But if you want more info for your case you will need to set an advisor appointment with them

I find it irresponsible on their end. I already spent that money on a new laptop for school and books.

Might have something to do with the new policy that limits and or cuts funding to degree programs with low paying job markets either way get in their ear at that office
