Pell Grants – What you need to know
The federally funded Pell Grants offered are readily available to most students. There are, of course, financial restrictions, but in this economy, most of us are going to qualify. The best place to begin is with filling out the FAFSA application. I filled mine out fairly easily, online. Information is processed quickly that way, and before you know it, your school has your information available to them! Once your school has your FAFSA information, they can tell you how much you qualify for in Pell Grants, and can guide you in the direction of other grants and scholarships being offered.
