Federal Pell Grant

Eligible undergraduate students who display exception financial need and who have not yet earned their first bachelor’s degree may be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. Unlike a loan, grant aid does not have to be repaid. The amount of Pell Grant you may be eligible to receive is based upon your financial need, your estimated cost of attendance, and the number of hours in which you plan to enroll.

 

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) are federally funded grants offered on a limited basis to students with exceptional financial need. Potentially eligible students must demonstrate great financial need, be eligible for a federal Pell Grant, and have not yet earned their first bachelor’s degree. Like the Federal Pell Grant, the SEOG does not have to be repaid.
