Scholarships
Federal Pell Grants
Pell Grants are the foundation of federal student financial aid, which can be added to other federal and nonfederal fund sources. Pell Grants are generally awarded to undergraduate students who haven’t earned a bachelor’s or graduate degree.
​
Unlike loans, Federal Pell Grants don’t have to be repaid unless you are awarded funds incorrectly or you withdrew from school.

It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans.
Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship
