Federal Pell Grant
A Federal Pell Grant is a need-based financial aid awarded annually by the Federal Government. Pell Grants are gift aid and do not have to be repaid.

Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. The amount of a Pell Grant depends on the student’s financial need as calculated by the FAFSA and appropriations by the U.S. Congress. Not all students qualify to receive a Pell Grant.
