Pell Grant

Pell Grant eligible students can receive up to 150% of their award within the academic year for use during Summer Sessions!

LET'S BREAK IT DOWN
If you qualified for the Pell Grant and maintained full-time status in the fall and spring, you have used 100% of the grant, but 150% is available. This summer, you have an additional 50% of your Pell Grant left to utilize!

THE DETAILS
You must enroll in AT LEAST 6 CREDIT HOURS during summer 2019. If you were a part-time student in the fall and/or spring, however, you can utilize the remainder of the Pell grant for any number of hours you wish to take (up to 15 hours).

For example: a student is initially awarded $1,000 in a Pell Grant award for 2 semesters of full-time enrollment. The student iss full-time during the Fall and Spring semesters and is disbursed $500 for each. The student then enrolls full-time in the Summer term (6 hours), so the student is eligible for another full-time Pell award of $500 (provided the students still meets all SAP eligibility requirements). Since this student was full time during fall and spring, the student is required to be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours during the Summer term to be eligible for the additional Pell award.

However, if a student was part-time during Fall and Spring, the student is not required to be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours to utilize the Pell Grant in the Summer. The half-time enrollment requirement applies only to students who received a full-time Pell Grant award during the prior Fall and Spring semesters.
