Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. Federal Pell Grants are considered a foundation of federal financial aid, to which aid from other federal and nonfederal sources might be added. The maximum amount can change each award year and depends on program funding. The amount you get, though, will depend not only on your financial need, but also on your costs to attend school, your status as a full-time or part-time student, and your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.

Eligibility Requirements

• You must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
• You must be enrolled at least half-time in an undergraduate degree program.
• You must demonstrate financial need.
