Information
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
