Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Pell Grant is free assistance that is funded and awarded by the federal government.  The Pell Grant is based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by the FAFSA and current enrollment.

• Recipients must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree-seeking program leading to a first bachelor’s degree and meet all other eligibility criteria required for receipt of federal assistance, including Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Read the Graduate SAP policy. Read the Undergraduate SAP policy.
• The maximum Federal Pell Grant award for full-time students (12 credits or more) in the 2007-2008 academic year was $4,310. Awards for students enrolled less than full-time will be prorated. These amounts, as determined by Congress, could change for 2008-2009.

 

 Please note

• If your FAFSA information changes as a result of verification or there is a change in your enrollment, your Federal Pell Grant award may change. 
• You are no longer eligible for the Pell Grant once you have earned your first bachelor’s degree.
• You cannot receive a Pell grant at more than one institution within the same academic year.
