Financial Aid
Announcements
- Summer 2018 important dates:
- Pell (up to $450) available at the book store from May 7 to May 21
- Pell refunds available beginning June 8
Refunds are available through BankMobile. Students must choose how they would like to receive their refund at www.refundselection.com. Please contact the cashier’s office for more information.
If a student applies for financial aid late, has classes that start after the first refund date, or has other delays, they may receive a refund after the posted date.
Students who take classes in multiple sessions may receive their Pell refund on more than one disbursement. For example, if a student signs up for two classes and one lasts the entire term and the other starts at the midpoint and lasts until the end of the term, the student would receive half of their Pell up front during the first round then the other half after the other class has started.
*Beginning fall 2017, Athens Technical College will be awarding Pell under a fall/spring academic year. This means that 50% of a student’s Pell award will be available fall and the remaining 50% will be available in spring. Due to a change in Pell funding, students will be able to receive up to 150% of their Pell award each academic year and an additional 50% will be available for summer. Students who are fulltime (12 or more hours) fall and spring must be enrolled in at least 6 hours in summer to receive more than 100% Pell. All other students will be awarded based on their attending hours each term up to 150% of their maximum award. Students are advised to monitor the Pell Lifetime Eligibility Used which has a limit of 600%. Please inquire with the financial aid office for additional information.
