Year-Round Pell Grants
The U.S. Department of Education has recently implemented Year-Round Pell Grants, allowing students to receive up to 150% of a regular grant award over the course of the academic year (fall, spring, and summer) so that they can continue taking classes in the summer and finish their degrees faster than they would otherwise.

Helpful Tip:

If you cannot find your Financial Aid Information on the Zone or CLASS-Web.

Reasons may be:

• You have NOT completed your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or DREAM Act Application or you may have completed the incorrect aid year
• You have NOT entered our College/ Federal School Code (030357) in your submitted FAFSA or DREAM Act Application
• You have completed your FAFSA but we have NOT received it. It takes approximately 7-10 days after your FAFSA submission for us to retrieve your information (The DREAM Act Application takes much longer.)

Always double check:

• Make sure you have completed the correct FAFSA for the appropriate Financial Aid Year.
• Submit your FAFSA by using your FSA ID
