HI!
Last week I was in the Dominican republic and I went to check UNIBE out. I spoke to a lady in charge of the financia aid office and she told me that those students from the US have to filled out the FASFA application and that they will recieve $18000. $8000 which will go to pay school and the other $10000 is given to the students for their personal expenses. She told me this will occur every 8 months.

I just wanted to know if anyone is going through this process or if they know anyone that is recieving so much money from the US government.
If so, I would like to know a little better how that works. Do you really recieve so much money and if you do how to you get, by installments.

I would greatly appreciate any information
