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. The FAFSA is 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 ($602 - $5,550) is based on the determination of eligibility and the cost of attendance at the college or university of the student’s choice. Students who receive a Pell Grant can receive Pell for 12 semesters (or equivalent). To see when the dollars have been credited, the student may look online at my.adu.edu, Student Account.
