What is a The Federal Pell Grant?
A
Federal Pell Grant is a grant and not a loan . And therefore, unlike a
loan, The Federal Pell Grant does not have to be repaid once you find
the Federal Pell Grant. Usually,
The Federal Pell Grant is awarded only to undergraduate students
who have not yet obtained a bachelor's or professional degree. (A
professional degree is usually obtained after a bachelor's degree in a
field such as medicine, law, or dentistry.) In some cases, you might
receive a Pell Grant for attending a post-baccalaureate teacher
certificate program.
Pell Grants are usually a foundation of financial
aid, to which aid from other federal and non-federal sources might be
added. There many types of free financial aid available too.
