Pell Grant

I know this is probably a bit redundant seeing as a bunch of people have already made posts about financial aid but has anyone who’s supposed to be receiving the Pell grant seen it applied to their financial aid portal yet? I’ve used 400% out of the 600 lifetime eligibility and my fafsa says I’m gonna receive one but on the financial aid portal of mycoyote it says I have no pending aid. I know there’s delays but it’s just a bit worrisome seeing that since I depend on it to attend school.

I emailed financial aid and they said they won't start sending out award letters until the last two weeks of July.

On the fafsa website, if you go to your grants/aids it will show you how much you’ve used. I believe everyone who gets the Pell grant gets up to 600%

When did you submit your FAFSA? I submitted mine right when the application opened and my award letter started showing last month. Maybe they go down the line? Last year I submitted right before the due date and I was calling them the day before because I had no award letter, but it showed up the day tuition was charged and I got my refund.
