Our Best Answer - What summer aid is available?

Summer Aid Availability

Year-Round Pell Grants

The Department of Education has announced the implementation of “Year-Round Pell Grants”.  Students eligible for the Pell Grant may receive a third disbursement of Pell Grant funds beginning with the summer of 2018 term. 

Students must be eligible for the Pell Grant as determined by the Department of Education and must be enrolled at least half-time, or 6 credit hours, for the summer semester.

What is Year-Round Pell Grant?

The US Department of Education Appropriations Act, 2017, allows a student to receive Federal Pell Grant funds for up to 150% of the student’s full-time Pell Grant award for an academic year.  For example, if a student is eligible for $5920 (100%) for a full academic year as a full-time student ($2960 per full-time semester, fall and spring), he/she will be eligible for an additional full-time award of $2960 (50%) for the summer semester

Will I be eligible for Year-Round Pell?

To be eligible for the additional Pell Grant funds, the student must be otherwise eligible to receive Pell Grant funds for the semester and must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credit hours).
