The pell grant is federal grant money available in the states. I dont know the exact qualifiers but lower income is a factor, and for younger people having parents who are deceased is a factor, military service can also come into play. I qualified for some before just based on my income. The amount you are awarded varies.
Talking to you guys got me motivated! While ive been online i officially applied to the school, and requested my official transcript from my last school be sent there. I wanted to get that don before i meet with anyone so they will have all the info. Thnks everyone!
