Abstract: The Federal Pell Grant 

program is a student financial assistance 

program authorized under the Higher 

Education Act of 1965, as amended 

(HEA). The program provides grant 

assistance to an eligible student 

attending an institution of higher 

education. The institution determines 

the student’s award and disburses 

program funds on behalf of the 

Department of Education (ED). 

Institutions are still required to report 

student Pell Grant payment information 

to ED electronically. Electronic 

reporting is conducted through the 

Common Origination and Disbursement 

(COD) system. The COD system is used 

by institutions to request, report, and 

reconcile grant funds received from the 

Pell Grant program.
