The federal Pell Grant is evaluated each academic year based on the student’s FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the resulting Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) calculation.

The annual Pell Grant amount is based on:

  • The student's FAFSA EFC calculation
  • The student's enrollment status each term as of the term census date (full-time, three-quarter-time, half-time, or less-than-half-time)
  • The University's cost of attendance

  • For the current 2023-24 year, to be Pell Grant eligible the FAFSA EFC must be 6,656 or less and the student must meet all other Pell eligibility requirements.
