What is a Pell Grant?

The Pell Grant is a type of federal financial aid based on need that generally does not have to be repaid, making it very appealing. The U.S. Department of Education grants it to qualified low-income students to assist them in covering college costs, such as tuition, fees, room and board, and other necessary educational expenses.
