Grants
Federal
Pell Grant
The Federal Pell
Grant, unlike a loan, does not have
to be repaid. The amount of Pell received will depend not only on your
EFC
(Estimated Family Contribution), but on your cost of attendance,
whether you are a full-time or part-time student, and whether you are
enrolled
for a full academic
year or less. You may not
receive Pell funds from more than
one school at a time. This grant is available through the FAFSA.
- The Federal Pell
Grant is available to eligible Undergraduates only
- Generally, Pell
Grants are awarded only to Undergraduate students who have not earned a
Bachelor's or Professional Degree
Federal
SEOG
The Federal SEOG (Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Gant)
is available to eligible Undergraduates only, meaning it is available
for
undergrad students with the lowest EFC's and gives priority to students
who
receive Federal Pell Grants. SEOG Funds are limited; therefore all
eligible
students may not receive this award. This grant is available through
the FAFSA.
