There is a possibility that they could return to school in the future, but it isn't likely. I know too many people who were given Pell grants. They went to class as much as they had to in order to get that check and pocketed any extra money. Then they dropped out. Meanwhile I worked to pay for my own college and lived with my parents because I didn't qualify for anything but loans. Now I have $25,000 in loans to pay back, and I graduated early with a 3.5.

Thats really interesting. Well i was given financial aid but I didnt drop out of class but i know alot of people just go to school, barely pass their classes just to get the check. Pretty silly! The whole financial aid system is a mess anyway.
