Can I buy you a rootbeer?
This may or may not be something you know, but...

I am a student graduating with a four year degree this fall (hooray!), and I was, once again, granted nearly $5k in loans (hooray!) - but they're dispersed half per semester (boo), and because I graduate after just one semester, half that grant simply vanishes (BOO!).

... and no, I'm honestly not trying to cheat the system - I have student loan debt that I'd really love to put this towards, as it's only been in the last year of a four year college experience that Uncle Sam has realized I'm a poor rear end solitary student putting myself through college (turned 25 last year - because remember kids, you aren't REALLY paying your own way through college unless you're at least 25 years old). If they could just, you know, take that grant and just role the unawarded part into loans? Awesome!

Is there any way I can tip-toe around this? I'm potentially willing to change my graduation date and effectively "take a semester off" (eg. just get a job and get my degree 6 months later than expected) if that would help me not lose the grant.
