A grant is gift aid that does not have to be repaid in most cases. Only undergraduate students pursuing their first undergraduate degree are eligible to receive grants.  The Federal Pell Grant is offered at South Louisiana Community College.

The Federal Pell Grant is an entitlement program that is based on financial need.  The amount of your Pell Grant is determined by the Federal Processor based on your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and the cost of enrollment at South Louisiana Community College.  The amount of any Pell Grant award shown on your award notification is contingent on full-time enrollment (at least 12 hours in both the Fall and Spring and 6 hours in the Summer). If you enroll in less that full-time your grant must be adjusted accordingly. The following rule of thumb may be applied to most Pell Grant awards. Pell Grants are generally prorated as follows:

Fall and Spring:

9, 10, or 11 hours = 3/4 Time

6, 7, or 8 hours = Half-Time

Summer:

5 hours = 3/4 Time

3 or 4 hours = Half-Time
