Federal Pell Grant Program — Duration of Eligibility
As a result of recent legislative changes, you should be aware of a
number of new requirements for the federal student aid programs. Most
of these changes are effective with the 2012-13 school year
- You are eligible to receive a Pell Grant for up to 12 semesters or the equivalent. If you have exceeded the 12-semester maximum, you will lose eligibility for additional Pell Grants beginning in 2012-13 school year. Equivalency is calculated by adding together the percentage of your Pell eligibility that you received each year to determine whether the total amount exceeds 600%.
