Federal law limits the amount of Pell Grant funds a student can receive to the equivalent of six years (or 12 semesters) at full-time enrollment, calculated as 600 percent. You can check your Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Usage (LEU) by logging into StudentAid.gov using your FSA ID. Students who are nearing their maximum of 600 percent LEU may have their Pell Grant disbursements reduced to prevent an overaward.
