Federal 佩尔助学金

The Federal 佩尔助学金 is awarded to students based on financial need and is limited to undergraduate and teaching credential students (students seeking their first bachelor's degree or first teaching credential). The 佩尔助学金 provides a foundation upon which other aid can be awarded.

The amount of a 佩尔助学金 is based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) for the 2023-2024 award year, or the Student Aid Index (SAI) for the 2024-205 award year and is prorated according to the number of units enrolled. Students enrolled less than full-time (12 units) must inform the 金融援助 and Scholarship Office by submitting the Student Information Update form. 


EFC and Award Amounts

Fall 2023 - Spring 2024 EFC and Award Amounts:

  • EFC cannot exceed 6656
  • Maximum academic year Pell: $7,395
  • Minimum academic year Pell: $767

佩尔助学金 Lifetime Eligibility

Eligible students can receive 佩尔助学金 up to a maximum of 6 years (600% of their 佩尔助学金 eligibility over an entire academic career). Once a student has reached their 12th full-time semester or 6 years, they are no longer eligible for the Pell 格兰特. 

Students can view their Pell 格兰特 usage history with the department of education.

Pell-eligible students may have additional 佩尔助学金 for Summer. Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6+ units) in order to be considered 夏天的佩尔.
