Federal Pell Grant-The Federal Pell Grant program provides funds to eligible undergraduate students who have not earned a first bachelor's degree. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be filed annually to apply for this grant. Awards are prorated based upon the number of credits for which a student registers.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant-Federal Pell Grant-eligible students are considered for Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG). A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed by May 1. Students who receive FSEOG must be enrolled for at least six credits each semester.

Pennsylvania State Grant (PHEAA Grant)-PHEAA Grants are available to eligible part-time and full-time undergraduate students who are Pennsylvania state residents. Part-time recipients must also meet specific PHEAA income guidelines. You must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by May 1 to apply. Academic progress guidelines require that a student earn twelve new credits for each semester for continued eligibility of grant funds.
