The
Pell Grant is a federal grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
Students who demonstrate financial need, who are enrolled in a Pell
eligible program and have not received a bachelor's degree may qualify
for this grant. Most short-term certificate programs do not meet the
program length requirements as established by the U.S. Department
of Education and therefore do not meet the definition of a Pell eligible
program. All diploma and associate degree programs are Pell eligible
programs. Pell awards are payable in four equal installments to be
disbursed during the 4th week of the quarter. Students must complete
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form in order
to determine eligibility. This aid does not have to be repaid provided
the recipient meets all requirements.
- Learning
Support and Special Admissions students are not eligible
for federal financial aid benefits.
- Pell
Grant awards are based on a student's enrollment status,
cost of attendance, program of study and degree of financial
need.
- Students
who withdraw from the college before the 6th week of the
quarter will have their Pell award pro-rated. Students who
have their award recalculated may owe back a significant
portion of their Pell Grant disbursement.
- Pell
funds are not available for use at the bookstore.

Applicants who
also meet the HOPE Program eligibility requirements may use the
HOPE Grant/Scholarship to cover quarterly tuition and fees charges.
This enhancement of the HOPE Scholarship program will allow those
applicants who qualify for any of the federal grant awards to use
this aid for other educational expenses incurred during the quarter.
