Federal Pell Grant
Pell Grants are considered the foundation of federal financial aid to which aid from other federal and non-federal sources might be added. The Federal Pell Grant is awarded only to undergraduate students who have not previously earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. The amount awarded depends not only on financial need but also on costs to attend school, status as a full-time or part-time student, and plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.
Funds may be used for tuition, fees, books, room, board, or other educational expenses. For the 2022-2023 academic year, the maximum award amount is $6,895. For the 2021-2022 academic year, the maximum award amount is $6,495. Renewal is contingent on maintaining a 2.0 or better grade point average, reapplication of the FAFSA, and continued financial need.

Renewal of the FSEOG is contingent upon maintaining a 2.0 or better, grade point average, reapplication by the published April deadline, continued financial need, and Federal Pell Grant eligibility. Funds may be used for tuition, fees, books, room, board, and other educational expenses.
