Federal Grants

Federal Pell Grant

Program for students with documented financial need as determined through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Pell Grant is money that the student does not need to repay.

Applicants with the equivalent of a Bachelor's Degree from anywhere in the world are not eligible for this grant. The enrollment status of the student i.e. full-time, three-quarter time or half-time will have a proportional effect on the amount of money the student may receive.
