Pell Grant Enrollment Requirements
The Federal Pell Grant is a source of financial aid that's awarded to individuals whom meet all of the eligibility requirements. The purpose of the Pell Grant is to give chosen applicants the chance to achieve a higher level of education by helping allowing them to enroll in a particular program that is intended for teacher certification or licensure. Although exceptions may be made, Pell Grants are typically administered to students who have not yet earned a bachelor's degree.
