Any exception to this six credit hour rule is noted in the actual program description. Students must reapply each academic year to re-establish eligibility for continued financial assistance. This program is designed for undergraduates who do not have a bachelor's degree, and it serves as the foundation, or base, for other forms of aid. Eligibility is based on need. The amount of the Pell grant is determined by a federal funding formula, the student's cost of education, and the number of credit hours for which the student enrolls each term.
Pell grants are available for eligible students who are enrolled in an eligible program.
Eligibility is based on need and availability of funds. Also campus-based, FWS awards are based on documented need and availability of funds. This program encourages community service employment and work related to the student's course of study. To the extent possible, BCCC will attempt to provide employment that complements and reinforces the student's educational and vocational career goals. FWS salaries will be paid at the current federal minimum wage and earnings are restricted to the amount of the award.
