Congress is currently looking at several proposals which may affect the awarding and amounts of future Pell awards.  Please be advised that all federal financial aid awards are contingent upon Congressional funding.

Pell Grant Recipients attending less than full time in a term (fall, spring or summer); Pell payment will be based on the enrollment status for that term.  Full time enrollment is 12 or more undergraduate hours each enrollment term (fall, spring or summer).  Also all repeat hours are counted as attempted hours.  Passed hours may only be repeated ONCE for Title IV assistance.  Any changes to your hours may affect your Pell Payment.
