Federal and State Grants

Federal Grants

The Federal Pell Grant Program provides grants to undergraduate students who have financial need and meet the other general eligibility requirements for student financial assistance. Pell Grants are awarded during the summer to students who did not attend full-time for both the fall and spring semesters. For details about summer Pell Grants, contact the Financial Aid Office.
