Federal Grants

Grants are money given to help students based on need and other eligibility factors. Grants do not have to be repaid. The amounts vary from year to year. To be considered for grants, you have to fill out your FAFSA each year.

FEDERAL PELL GRANT

Federal Pell grants may be awarded to undergraduate students who qualify based on financial need and have not earned a bachelor's, graduate, or professional degree. For 2025-2026 the maximum Pell grant remains at $7,395. Each student's eligibility depends on financial need as determined by the calculated Student Aid Index (SAI) from your FAFSA information. If you qualify, in order to receive the full Pell grant award for the semester, you must be enrolled full-time. However, if you do not attend full-time, you may still qualify. The amount will be determined by prorating the award based on the number of credit hours you enroll.

FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY GRANT (SEOG)

The amount varies based on exceptional need, Pell Grant eligibility, and the amount of money appropriated by Congress for the current budget year.
