    Host: If I applied as a fulltime student and I a switching to part-time, will my aid change?

    Brad Barnett: Your award could change if you switch from fulltime from part-time, specifically if you re receiving grants. Most of the time, grant eligibility is in part tied to your enrollment level. So if you go fulltime to less than fulltime, your grants are probably going to change, but also your university charges would change because you won t be charged as much as a less than fulltime student as you would a fulltime student.
