Federal and State Grants

Student Financial Services will determine your eligibility for federal and state grants based on the information you provide on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Federal Pell Grant

  • Federal Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduates with the greatest financial need.
  • If your tentative award letter includes a Federal Pell Grant, the amount is an estimate that will be finalized once we receive your FAFSA and verification documents. The award amount is subject to change each year depending on your financial need and federal funding availability.
