These federally funded grants are awarded to needy students. The amount of your Pell Grant is based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) noted on your Student Aid Report, the cost of attendance, and your enrollment status.
These grants are for undergraduates with exceptional financial need, that is, students with the lowest expected family contribution. Priority is given to students who receive Federal Pell Grants.
The University provides funds for grants, such as the University Grant and Founders Grant, to several hundred students. Awards are made to students with satisfactory academic records and demonstrated financial need. You must file a FAFSA to be eligible for these grants. The amount of these grants may vary from year to year based on your FAFSA information.
