Pell Grant

A Pell Grant is a type of financial aid provided by the U.S. federal government to help low-income students pay for college. Unlike loans, Pell Grants do not need to be repaid, making them a valuable resource for those pursuing higher education. The amount awarded depends on factors like financial need, cost of attendance, and enrollment status. Eligible students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply, and the funds can be used for tuition, fees, and other educational expenses. Pell Grants aim to make college more accessible and affordable.
