The Pell Grant is a need-based federal financial aid program for undergraduate college students from low- or middle-income households. Here's how to qualify.

You might be able to get around $6,000 GIVEN to you to attend college. Nope, not a joke. The "catch?" You have to complete the #FAFSA! #fafsafridays studentaid.gov/understand-ai…

Between 1991 & 2016, "blacks and Latinos with a bachelor’s degree increased their likelihood of getting and keeping a good-paying job..." #FAFSA completion increases the likelihood of college enrollment; we need to keep up the fight! #fafsafridays voanews.com/student-union/ra…
Among full-time, full-year undergrads, 88% of Black students, 87% of American Indian/Alaska Native students, & 82% of Hispanic students received grants in 2015–16. These percentages were higher than those for White (74%) & Asian (66%) students.-Natl Ctr for Ed Stats #fafsafridays
We're committed to closing the "degree divide" & equipping BIPOC students to pursue college in the face of barriers related to race. #FAFSA completion is key! So, we're highlighting the connection between social justice, financial aid, and earning a degree. #fafsafridays #BLM
