Grants

The Federal Pell Grant is the foundation source for all other aid programs. No other need-based assistance grants, loans, or work-study can be awarded until a student’s eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant is determined.

When a student files a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the government processes the application and sends a Student Aid Report to the student’s address.

The student then should submit the Student Aid Report to the Financial Aid Office for an estimated grant amount to be determined. The final Pell Grant will be determined at the time of enrollment.

Other available grants are the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG). Students with exceptional need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid may be awarded one of these grants.
