Pell Grants

Pell Grants are federal financial aid provided to low-income undergraduate students in the United States to help cover the cost of college. Unlike loans, they 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, the cost of attendance, and enrollment status. To apply, students fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Pell Grants aim to make college more accessible and affordable for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
