<human>: I start my last year of my undergrad next week and just found out that my Pell Grant was cut in half. 
In the past I have always received a full $5,000. Meaning $2,500 each semester.  This year I have been granted $2,500 for the whole year.
I also was not offered the unsubsidized stafford loan (or whatever it's called now) as I have been in the past, and had to take all of the subsidized loan, and still wound up owing almost $1,000.
This is my first year filing my taxes independently and unbeknownst to me that apparently fucked me. 
The past few years while filing as a dependent of my father FAFSA calculated my EFC (Expected Family Contribution) of 20.  
Somehow, independently I got an EFC of 3490, (I only made $17,000 last year) 
However, I quit my job in March to go back to school full time so now my EFC is effectively "0".
FAFSA said to talk to the school, and my university said since I voluntarily quit there is nothing they can do to adjust my aid until next year (after I gradute).
Is there anything I can do?  Any appeals process they aren't telling me about? 
My university is in Texas if that matters.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: I quit my job to go back to school full time and now they're basing my aid off of what I made last year and won't adjust it.
