| FEDERAL PELL GRANT
A Federal Pell Grant is an award to help undergraduate students pay for
their education after high school. For the Federal Pell Grant Program,
an undergraduate is one who has not earned a bachelor’s or professional
degree. (A professional degree would include a degree in such fields as
pharmacy or dentistry.) The dollar amount is based on the student’s
and/or his /her family’s resources. Documented need is generated
through the Student Aid Report (SAR). This grant award does not have to
be repaid.
FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY GRANT (FSEOG)
