Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is the largest of the federal need-based grant programs. It is awarded automatically to students who qualify based on your FAFSA application results.
To receive this grant, you must be an undergraduate student who has not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. (A professional degree is usually earned in a field such as medicine, law, or dentistry after earning a bachelor's degree.)
