Grant Aid

Federal Pell Grant

For students with exceptional financial aid needs who have not earned a bachelor’s degree, this grant is funded by the US Department of Education. The amount of the grant is determined by federal government regulations. Maximum Pell Grant for 2024-2025 is $7,395. The actual grant amount is determined based on financial need and the total number of credits registered for each semester.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

A companion grant to the Federal Pell Grant, this is also for students with exceptional financial aid needs who have not earned a bachelor’s degree. Students have to be at least half-time (six credits) status and demonstrate exceptional financial need. If eligible, the maximum for a year is $4,000. Students must be Pell recipients to be eligible for this grant. When awarding we first look at the student’s student aid index (SAI), as reported from the student’s FAFSA. Those with a negative or zero SAI are offered an FSEOG first. Next, the student’s enrollment intensity (calculated by the number of credits enrolled) is reviewed. Students who are not enrolled full-time will receive an offer that is proportional to their enrollment intensity. If there are funds remaining after offers have been made to those with a negative or zero SAI, we will make offers to those whose SAI is greater than zero by increasing the SAID threshold in increments of 5,000 until all funds are exhausted. There is limited funding for this grant.
