Federal Pell Grants
Pell Grants of up to $4,050 per year are available to eligible students. Eligibility is determined by the federal processor based on a formula approved by Congress. The formula uses the information that is supplied by the parent and/or student on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Award amounts are prorated based on the number of hours for which you are enrolled. Only undergraduate students who have not previously received a bachelor's degree are eligible. More information about Pell Grants is available from the Federal Guide to Student Aid.
