Every year millions of students can afford college thanks to the Pell grant.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is one of the easiest routes to paying for college. Every year the federal government distributes billions of dollars in Pell grants to low-income students. The amount of aid is based on the student's or his family's income; the institution cost and the student's status as full or part time.
The student and parent can fill out the FAFSA together. The form will ask about the student's income and, if the student is dependent on the parents, the parents income as well as the family income.
Once the student has accepted admission to a school, the Pell grant money will go to the school. The school can either apply the Pell money directly to tuition or give the student a check. Pell grant money can be used for students in a qualifying study-abroad program as well.
