Federal Pell Grants
Federal Pell Grants are need-based financial aid provided by the U.S. government to help low- and moderate-income students afford higher education. Unlike loans, they do not need to be repaid. The amount awarded varies based on factors such as financial need, enrollment status, and available funding, typically covering a portion of college costs like tuition, fees, and books. Pell Grants aim to increase access to higher education by reducing financial barriers for eligible students, supporting their academic and career pursuits without adding debt.
