All federal grants are awarded to students with financial need. The amount of your Federal Pell Grant depends on your cost of attendance, expected family contribution (EFC), and enrollment status (full or part-time). Grants do not have to be repaid unless you withdraw from school and owe Return of Title IV funds.
