The Federal Pell Grant is a financial aid program in the United States designed to help low-income undergraduate students pay for college. It provides funds that do not need to be repaid, making it a valuable resource for those pursuing higher education. Eligibility is determined based on the student's financial need, as assessed through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The amount awarded varies each year and is based on factors such as the student's expected family contribution, the cost of attendance, and enrollment status. The Pell Grant can be used for tuition, fees, and other educational expenses, supporting students in achieving their academic goals.
