Federal Pell Grant

Effective as of March 26, 2015, the Federal Pell Grant information has been updated.

The Federal Pell Grant program provides a foundation of assistance to which other forms of aid may be added.   Eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant Program is determined by a standard need-analysis formula that is revised and approved every year by the federal government. Unlike loans, grants do not have to be paid back. The maximum Federal Pell Grant for the 2014-15 aid year is $5,730.
