Pell Grant

Pell Grants are federal funded need-based grants awarded to low-income undergraduate and certain post-baccalaureate students to promote access to post secondary education.Pell Grant amounts are dependent on: the student’s expected family contribution, the cost of attendance, the student’s enrollment status, and whether the student attends for a full academic year or less.

Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

SEOG Grants are federal funded grants awarded to undergraduates with exceptional financial need, students with the lowest expected family contributions, and gives priority to students who receive Pell Grants.

Each participating school will receive enough money to pay the Pell Grants of its eligible students. However, there’s no guarantee every eligible student will be able to receive SEOG. Students at each school will be awarded these funds based on availability at that school.
