Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant is a federal program designed to provide
undergraduate students, who have not attained their first
bachelor's degree, with a foundation of financial aid. Pell
eligibility is determined when a student completes a FAFSA. The
Department of Education determines Pell eligibility by using the
Federal Methodology formula. The award is to be used for
education expenses, which include tuition, fees, room, board,
books, and supplies. The amount of Pell Grant students receive
depends on their enrollment status and EFC. Pell Grants are paid
to students by crediting their student accounts. If the amount
of the grant exceeds the amount due to MCC, the student will
receive a check for the remaining grant amount. |
