Pell Grant

Federal Pell Grants usually are awarded only to undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need and have not earned a bachelor's, graduate, or professional degree. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid.
The amount you get, though, will depend on:
- Your Expected Family Contribution
- The cost of attendance (determined by your school for your specific program)
- Your status as a full-time or part-time student
- Your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.
What should I do to maintain the grant?
In general, you must maintain enrollment in an undergraduate course of study at a non-foreign school to receive a Federal Pell Grant. Additionally, you will have to fill out the FAFSA form every year you鈥檙e in school in order to stay eligible for federal student aid.
