Grants

This grant is funded by the federal government, and recipients are undergraduate U.S. citizens or permanent residents who demonstrate exceptional financial need. Federal Pell Grant awards are based on the results of your FAFSA and link eligibility to family size and federal poverty guidelines. Therefore, Federal Pell Grant amounts may change from year to year. More information, including a payment schedule to determine eligibility can be found online.

FSEOG funds are given to students with high financial need, generally to students who are eligible for Pell Grants. Undergraduate U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled for at least six credits per financial aid period will be considered for this grant.
