Recipients must be enrolled as matriculated undergraduate students. Pell Grant awards are paid to eligible students for a maximum of 150 percent of the 128 credits required for the student's first bachelor's degree as long as satisfactory program progress and pursuit is maintained. Repayment is at 5 percent interest and begins nine months after graduation or leaving school, and it may extend over a period of ten years. There are also certain cancellation provisions. Students may work up to 20 hours per week.
Jobs are available on and off campus.
Completed forms are submitted to the nearest VA office. Eligibility requirements, entitlements, time limits, and programs of education vary.
