Award amounts can change yearly.
2024–25 Award Year
The maximum Federal Pell Grant award is $7,395 for the 2024–25 award year (July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025).
The amount you get, though, will depend on
Students who are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, will receive the full amount they are eligible for. The amount of any other student aid for which a student might qualify for does not affect the amount of Federal Pell Grant.
Students who are registered and attending class(es) will be disbursed the remaining balance of their Pell Grant award on financial aid disbursement day.
Please note, financial aid is paid only for classes that a student attends. Taking courses that begin after the first official day of the semester (a course that starts in the mini-semester, for example), payment for that coursework will be reflected at a later date after that course actually begins and attendance has been confirmed. For more details on payment dates, feel free to contact the Financial Aid Office.
