Federal Pell Grant

Federal Pell Grants are need-based grants provided to low-income students so that they may access postsecondary education. Eligibility for these grants are dependent upon: the student’s expected family contribution, cost of attendance, enrollment status (full-time or part-time), and whether or not the student attends for a full academic year. The Federal Pell Grant does not have to be paid back. For more information or to find out if you are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, make an appointment with a Financial Aid counselor today!
