Check If Pell Grant Funding Is Available for summer semester

While you may be able to use the Federal Pell Grants to pay for summer classes, keep in mind that there is a lifetime cap on Pell Grant eligibility. Federal law limits the amount of money you may receive in a lifetime to the equivalent of six years of Pell Grant funding. The maximum amount of Pell Grants you can receive each award year is equal to 100%. Award years run from July 1 of one year to June 30 of the next year, so if you do not attend classes full time or were not enrolled for a full year, you may be eligible for summer funding.
