Federal Grants
Pell Grant
are based on the Student Aid Index (SAI) determined by your results. Students receive payments from the Pell grant based on their enrollment status (full time or part time). Pell Grants are offered only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. Pell grants are federally determined and are the same at any school you attend.
Students receiving a Federal Pell grant who earn a grade of FN (failed, never attended) or WN (withdrew, never attended) will have the credit hours for those courses removed from their financial aid enrollment for receipt of the grant. For example, if a student has full-time enrollment and is enrolled in four (4) three credit hour courses and receives a grade of FN or WN in two of those courses, the student鈥檚 enrollment for Pell grant purposes would change to half-time at six credit hours. Pell grant recipients who receive a grade of FS (failed, stopped attending), WP (withdrew passing), or WF (withdrew failing) will also have a date indicating their last date of academic participation. Additionally, the credit for courses where the student ceased academic participation after the add/drop period has ended will be removed from their financial aid enrollment for receipt of the Pell grant. In summary, grades of FN, WN, FS, WP, and WF can reduce a student鈥檚 eligibility for the Federal Pell grant. These adjustments would, typically, occur after the student has been paid Pell for a semester. The adjustment will create a university balance that, if unpaid, will be subject to the University鈥檚 collection process.

The ATS specifies the conditions under which the grant will be offered and the teaching service requirements. If you do not meet the teaching service requirements you must repay the grant as a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan.

Federal regulations require that students who have received a TEACH Grant upon withdrawing or graduating from their program of study.
