Pell Grants are perfect for people trying to go back to school and watch their budgets. In particular, these grants offer the following benefits:
You never have to pay them back.
Once the government sends you your Pell Grant check, you never have to repay it or pay any interest.
They typically cover tuition and more.
Students can qualify for up to $5,350 in Pell Grants for the 2010-2011 school year.
They are based on a student's need.
Pell Grants take into account a student's living expenses, how many credit hours they will take, and how many dependents they are supporting.
To receive Pell Grants, you need to enroll in and register at an accredited university. Once admitted, you can fill out a Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to find out how much Pell Grant financial aid you will receive.
