Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Pell Grant is a federally-funded grant awarded on the basis of financial need.  The Federal Pell Grant is awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or a professional degree.  The amount of Pell Grant awarded can change from year-to-year, and is contingent on the following:

  • Your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) determined by the FAFSA results.
  • Your financial need.
  • Your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.
  • Your status as a full-time or part-time student.  The Pell Grant is awarded based on full-time enrollment (12 or greater undergraduate hours), and is prorated based on enrollment for less than full-time enrollment. Pell Grant funds may not be received for more than the equivalent of six full-time academic years.
