A grant is a financial aid award that does not have to be repaid unless, for example, the student withdraws from school or does not meet satisfactory academic progress and owes a refund. Grants are often need-based and may be offered by the U.S Department of Education, Florida Department of Education, or Broward College.
Federal Grants
What is it?
The Federal Pell Grant is a need-based award administered by the Financial Aid office.
Awards are offered based on an assumption of full-time enrollment. These estimates are recalculated based on the student's actual enrollment and whether or not the courses apply to the student's declared degree.
If a student has unused pell funding from the Fall and/or Spring term(s), due to less than half-time enrollment, the remaining funds may be "rolled over" into the Summer term. Summer eligibility will also be based on enrollment.
The maximum award amount for the 2024-2025 academic year is $7,395.
The amount awarded will depend on the student's

cost of attendance
status as a full-time or part-time student
