Grants are monetary awards that the student does not have to repay. (If you withdraw before you complete over 60% of your enrollment period or receive all F's, you may owe a Federal refund. More information is available in the Financial Aid Office.)

To apply for these grants, you must complete the FAFSA and have a declared major. If you should drop a class or withdraw from school, a repayment of some or all of your grant(s) may be required.

Pell is the foundation of financial aid and serves as the starting point in the aid process.
