Is it possible to get financial aid from two colleges?

I will be attending two community colleges. Both have requested documents from me so I am planning to submit the documents for both schools. Does this mean I can get financial aid from both? So should I not bother submitting the documents for the second school?

1. no you can't. you can only get it twice a year. one for the summer, one for the school year. you can't have it at two schools at the same time.
2. you can, but you cant get fin aid from both. Also be aware that you won't get as much fin aid as you are entitled to if you attend two schools. Most schools won't honor another schools enrollment... meaning.. if you attend 6 hours at one community college and 6 hours at another community college you ARE attending school full time and normally would get the full fin aid awards.. but since half of them are at another school you will only be awarded fin aid for your hours there.. and most wont even do loans unless you are at least half time anyway. Hope it helps.
