The Pell Grant is a federal aid program designed to provide financial assistance to those who need to attend post-high school educational institutions. Basic grants may be combined with other forms of financial aid in order to meet the full cost of education. All financial aid you receive will be coordinated so as not to receive an over award. The amount of your basic grant is determined on the basis of your own and/or your parents' family financial resources. Payment of the Pell Grant is based on the student's completion rate and satisfactory progress in the program in which he/she is enrolled. For more information see the Student Personnel Services Officer.
