<p>I didn't start my current college program until this spring semester and I guess since I started the 2011-2012 term late I qualified for Pell during this upcoming summer semester. The thing is they don't seem to have a great deal of classes offered for my program in the summer. I might be able to get 9 credit hours at the most, will Pell still cover my classes and books even if I don't get 12 credit hours?</p>
<p>The Pell grant will be reduced to reflect your attendance status. If you are taking 9-11 hours that is 3/4 time, so your Pell will be 3/4 of what you would otherwise receive. 6-8 hours would be half time and your Pell would be half what you would otherwise receive.</p>
<p>Whether it will cover your tuition and books depends on the cost of your tuition and books.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for answering my question, it helped</p>
