Pell Grant

View all items in the Federal Aid Category »

The Federal Pell Grant is evaluated annually based on the student’s FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and their resulting Student Aid Index (SAI).

The annual Pell Grant amount is determined by:

• The student's SAI calculation
• The student's enrollment intensity at each term's census date (enrollment intensity is a percentage based on enrolled credits with 12 or more equaling 100%)
• The University's Cost of Attendance

For the 2025-26 School year, Pell Grant information will be available in February 2025.

• To be eligible for a Pell Grant in the current 2024-25 school year, your FAFSA results must indicate that you meet at least one of the following criteria:
  • You are eligible for a Maximum Pell Grant
  • You are eligible for a Minimum Pell Grant
  • You are eligible for a Pell Grant
• The annual Pell Grant award amounts for the current 2024-25 school year are as follows for full-time enrollment (12 or more credits):
  • Maximum Pell Grant: $7,395

  • The range for all Pell Grants is $740-$7,395. The term amounts for students enrolled part-time at term census will be reduced based on their Pell Enrollment Intensity.
