You will still receive some type of financial aid. Pell grant has different amounts based on less than half time attendance, half time attendance, 3/4 time attendance and full time attendance. Some other grants may require full time attendance and have different amounts like the Pell grant. Loans require you to go at least half time and you get the same amount full or half time. As long as you pass all your classes you can continue to receive federal grants and loans until you graduate but some state grants may have cut offs. It is best to take your personal situation to your financial aid office and see what changes will be made to your award based on your attendance.

You have to be at least part time. Depends of course on the particular aid you're getting. Usually, no, four years would not result in a cut-off. Here's an explanatory website for federal student aid.

Financial aid is based on need and is allowed for full-time (12+hous), 3/4 time, and 1/2 time enrollment. It is not based on "years" but on credit hours achieved for a specific degree. If you change majors, you can keep getting aid for the new program of study. Check with the school you are wanting to attend for their specific financial aid guidelines.

You have to attend at least half time to get financial aid. That's 6 units. Of course it will make college last longer than 4 years, unless you make up the units in summer or go time and a half the next semester. Your best bet is just to get it over with. Otherwise...college gets very long and tiring!

Yes part time students do get financial aid and you will get financial aid as long as you are financial eligable, even if it does take longer than four years.
good luck with school.

Yes-any student, part-time or full-time, can receive financial aid.
There isn't a "cut-off" point-you can receive aid for as long as you are in school.

Yes, part time students do get money! You can even get paid if you take 1 or 2 classes as long as your GPA is 3.0 or higher.

No, your grade level and credits earned determine on how much and how long financial aid will continue to assist you! When you begin college they usually tell you how much 3.0-4.0 will finance.
