While the Pell Grant is celebrated as free money for college, thousands of students are unexpectedly required to return these funds to the government each year. Understanding the specific, often surprising, circumstances that can transform your grant into a debt is essential to protecting your financial future.
Unlocking up to $4,000 in additional, free money for your education is possible through the Federal Supplemental Educational opportunity Grant (FSEOG). This exclusive, campus-based aid is awarded to students with the greatest financial need, and understanding the critical steps to qualify is key to securing a share of these limited funds.
