What you get
A Federal Pell Grant can help an eligible undergraduate student pay for college. Unlike a loan, a grant usually does not have to be repaid. The award amount depends on the student's financial need, enrollment, school costs, and the funds available at the school.
Notes
The maximum award and the year's funding change with each award year. Complete the FAFSA and check the current Federal Student Aid information for the award year you are enrolling in before you plan around a specific amount.
