(4,571 posts)How much money can I get?
Amounts can change yearly. The maximum Federal Pell Grant award is $5,730 for the 201415 award year (July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015). For the 201516 award year (July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016), the maximum award will be $5,775.
The amount you get, though, will depend on
your financial need,
your cost of attendance,
your status as a full-time or part-time student, and
your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.
You may not receive Federal Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.
Effective on July 1, 2012, you can receive the Federal Pell Grant for no more than 12 semesters or the equivalent (roughly six years). Youll receive a notice if youre getting close to your limit. If you have any questions, contact your financial aid office.
