The Pell grant award is determined by the needs of the family as outlined in their financial records on the application as well as the academic excellence of the student. It’s very important that all information placed on the FAFSA application or the SAR (student aid report) is factual and that documents can be provided for proof. Families who are in greater need, with students who have shown academic promise, will most likely be chosen over those who are less in need of financial aid.

Understand Typical College Grant Award Amounts
The Pell grant award amount differs for each student and will depend upon his or her basic needs – such as the tuition, cost for books, room and board, and other factors. The typical college grant award amount is around $4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 but can be higher or lower for any given year. The US Department of Education will determine the student’s need with a formula called EFC or Expected Family Contribution. This basically means what the family will be able to contribute,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if any, in the student’s education.
With most college grants, there are rules and regulations. Students must agree that they will maintain a minimum grade point average and that they will refrain from use of drugs of any kind. Students who are found to be non-compliant with the rules and regulations can have their grant revoked and lose their chance to attend college with a student grant. It’s important to read all of the rules and regulations before applying for a grant.
By using the tips and information above, students and low-income families can determine how best to secure a college grant for further education.
Students who are interested in a government student financial aid should fill out the FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This can be done at their high school via the guidance counselor’s office or online at the FAFSA website. The FAFSA makes students’ names and information available for many different kinds of grants and other opportunities to attend college with financial aid. By filling out the FAFSA, the student will gain many advantages and will be informed if they are eligible for certain programs and grants.
Visit the FAFSA
Students who are interested in the Pell grant should contact the colleges they plan to attend to be sure the grant is available. Contacting these colleges also has another benefit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as students can determine whether any other grant funding programs are available to supplement the college grant.
Become Familiar with Grant Application Rules and Regulations
Pell grants are grants offered by the US government to low-income families or students that show academic promise or excellence. These grants are a valuable resource for these families, as the students often don’t have any other means for attending college without them. Anyone can apply for these kinds of grants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but students with outstanding academic excellence are far more likely to be given the Pell grant. Below are some tips students and families can use to help them secure one of these college grants.
