To be eligible for the Pell Grant, one must demonstrate substantial financial need. The Federal Pell Grant is for undergraduate students.  Students may apply by completing the FAFSA form. Forms are available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov, or by calling 1-800-433-3243. Notification of eligibility is sent to the student from the processing agency and the Financial Aid Office. The amount of the award ($976 - $5,350) is based on the determination of eligibility and the cost of attendance at the college of the student’s choice. Students who first receive a Pell Grant on or after July 1, 2008 can receive Pell for 18 semesters (or equivalent). To see when the dollars have been credited, the student may look online at my.FHCHS.edu, My Account Business.
