Your financial aid eligibility is not affected if you have not attended college in a while. Awards are based on your grade level, residency status, and Expected Family Contribution as determined by the
FAFSA.
Please be aware that there are maximum annual and lifetime limits on Federal Pell Grants, Federal Direct Loans, Federal Perkins Loans and Federal TEACH Grants. There are
no exceptions to these federal policies. You may be close to, or you may have exceeded your lifetime eligibility for those programs.
Learn more about
Pell Lifetime Eligibility and how to monitor your status online. To find the Federal Direct Loan lifetime limits, please visit the
Direct Loan Limits website. You can monitor your Federal Direct Loan borrowing by logging in to the
National Student Loan Data System with your
Federal Student Aid ID.
