Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is need-based and awarded to eligible
undergraduate students. In most cases, this grant does not need to be paid
back. You are automatically considered for the Pell Grant when you apply
and file your FAFSA application. The Federal Pell Grant may be used for
tuition, fees, books, transportation, and living expenses. Initial awards are
estimated based on the results of the FAFSA application. Award amounts
may change if criteria used in determining your eligibility, such as major,
degree status, satisfactory academic progress, income or family information
changes. Actual disbursement of the Federal Pell Grant will not be
determined until your file is completed and enrollment status has been
verified. The amount of the Pell Grant disbursement is based on the
information provided on your FAFSA application and your enrollment status.
Pell Grant awards can range from $544 to $5815 per academic award year.
