Can I receive financial aid at two different institutions for the same semester?
You cannot receive a Federal Pell Grant at more than one institution per semester. If you are attending two colleges for the same semester, you would need to request a Consortium Agreement from the Financial Aid Office at your home institution and submit it to your host institution (i.e. the school you are not receiving your degree or certificate from but at which are taking classes). The home school can combine your enrollment there with your enrollment at the other institution when pursuing your aid. In many cases, you will need to pay for your classes from out-of-pocket funds at the host institution. If your financial aid at your home college exceeds your charges and you receive a refund check, you can reimburse yourself at that time for some or all of the expenses paid at the host institution. Please keep in mind that you can only pursue this option if the classes taken at the host institution will be transferred back to the home institution and applied to your degree or certificat
