I have heard a lot of stories about the Pell Grant this year. Some people say that it will no longer be available in the fall, is this true? I really hope not, because it would be the deciding factor for my dream school.
It’s not going away this year, or at all as far as I know.
The Pell Grant is only $5900 or so. Will this fully fund your dream achool?
You are transferring to Syracuse. $5900 is a drop in the bucket for,the COA at Syracuse.
It is the Perkins loan that is going away, not the Pell grant.
Pell is definitely not going away. There is a proposal tied to the Higher Education Act Reauthorization that seeks to make some changes such as eliminating subsidized loans and FSEOG … but Pell will stay for sure.
Thank you so much for all of your answers! @thumper1 I know how much the pell grant is, I received a rather generous FA package at SU and $5,775 would actually make quite of a difference for my family to be able to afford it.
^ usually Pell is included in the financial aid package already, not additional to what the school gives. Check your award letter @ritzrabbit
I did! I saw it there, I’m just worried for aid for next year.
