Pell Grants

Pell Grants are given to students whose federally defined expected family contribution is less than $5,328 for 2017-18. Grants for full-time study currently range between $596 and $5,920. Grant amounts may be adjusted annually to reflect amounts authorized and appropriated by the federal government.

The amount of an individual's award is determined by the Office of Financial Aid based on the results of a candidate’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

In order to continue receiving awards, a student must make satisfactory academic progress and must not owe any refunds to the Federal Pell Grant or other federal student aid programs or be in default on repayment of any student loan.
