Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grant
Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students who have
not earned a bachelor's or professional degree and who are not enrolled in
graduate-level classes. Eligibility is determined by the Department
of Education using a standard formula established by Congress and is based on
the information you provide on the FAFSA. The formula produces an Expected
Family Contribution (EFC). The amount you receive depends on your EFC, the
institution's cost of attendance and the number of credit hours for which you
are enrolled, and whether you attend school for the full academic year. You
may not receive Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.
