Federal Pell Grant (FPELL)
A federal program for undergraduate students obtaining their first bachelor’s degree. The Pell Grant amount depends on family contribution, the cost of attendance at ACC, and the number of hours for which you are enrolled (full-time, three-quarter time, half-time, less than half-time).
Federal guidelines stipulate that Pell Grant recipients adding classes after the financial aid census date cannot receive an increase in their Pell Grant award. Example: Joe Student registered for 6 hours for the 16wk session, and 3 hours for the 12 week session (prior to the financial aid census date). Pell Grant will pay for these classes. Later, Joe decides to add another 3 hour class after census date has passed. Pell Grant cannot be adjusted once census date has passed. Yolanda Student did not register for any classes prior to census date, but is now registering for the 12 week session, the Pell Grant will pay for her classes.
The Title IV Consolidation Appropriation Act of 2012 limits the amount of the Federal Pell Grant Eligibility to 12 full time semesters. Click here for more information.
