Pell Grant eligibility is based on financial need. Although students with family incomes up to $45,000 may be eligible, most awards go to students with family incomes below $20,000. You can receive your Pell Grant once you have accepted a financial aid offer from your school. Funds are usually available at the beginning of the semester or quarter.
