Federal Pell Grants

Pell Grants of up to $4,310 per year beginning in the 2007-2008 academic year are available to eligible students. Eligibility is determined by the U. S. Department of Education 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) to produce an EFC (Expected Family Contribution) number.  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.
