My husband is almost done with IT professional school, graduating in May 2016.

We had been counting on Financial Aid, as the green card timing was, according to everything online, going to come before he started school.

As it happened, the green card was late, and we had to take a fairly hefty loan for school, which is hitting my savings account kind of hard.

I'm wondering if there's a way to get Financial aid retroactively as we finally got the green card.

I doubt it, but worth asking.

Thanks

Lisa

The answer might well depend on the particular school's policies. The school's financial aid office would be a good place to ask.

I am unaware of any aide that pays for prior classes.

Yes, not retroactive.

To clarify what I posted above for LisaBrian, if asking the school, it would be a question about the current semester, during which the residency status changed. If he is now eligible for financial aid for the current term, and if they will grant it to him, it would not be retroactive but rather applied to the current semester's bills.
