Pell Grant:
This Federal grant was only available to undergraduate students, but has recently (two years now) been extended to credential students. For eligibility to be determined, credential students need to complete the FAFSA. It is recommended that you apply early in the year (Jan-Mar) for the following academic year so your eligibility can be determined for this grant while funds are available.
