Eligibility is limited to undergraduates who have not earned any baccalaureate or professional degrees. Eligible students may receive Pell Grants for the period of time necessary to complete a first undergraduate baccalaureate degree, if they are progressing at an acceptable rate toward completion of their degree programs. This is based on academic hours attempted, regardless of whether the student received previous assistance. Students must reapply for Federal Pell Grants annually, and the total amount of aid cannot exceed the student s cost of attendance. If you are considering withdrawal from classes or reduction in class load, we recommend you seek financial counseling as well as academic advice beforehand.
Schools now can receive student aid applications electronically.
