Federal Pell Grants

Federal Pell Grants are need-based federal funds awarded to eligible undergraduate students who have not yet earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. These grants do not need to be repaid, unless the student withdraws from or stops attending school. The amount awarded each term is based on the student’s enrollment intensity.  Eligible students may receive Pell Grant funds year-round, including Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
