Pell Grants are in the news lately since the Federal Government announced that federal Student Loans will get loan forgiveness of $10,000 and up to $20,000 for those who qualified for a Pell grant.
Pell grants are currently awarded to students whose "expected family contribution" to their college is less than $5846, and can range from $650 to 6,495.
Pell grants are awarded based on the information in your FAFSA application.
