Pell Recalculation

Understanding Pell Recalculation

The Pell Recalculation is when the Financial Aid Office checks your eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant based on your current class enrollment. If your grant amount doesn’t match your enrollment status, it will be adjusted.

Pell Grant Calculation

Pell Grant eligibility is directly linked to the number of credits you are enrolled in for the semester. "Enrollment Intensity” refers to how even small changes in your credit hours can impact the student Pell Grant.
