Welcome to Financial Aid

Announcements:
Prepare now to file your 2012-2013 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Please be aware that Evergreen's Financial Aid Priority Deadline has been updated to March 1, 2012
Federal Pell Grant Duration of Eligibility- Public Law 112-74 amended HEA section 401 (c)(5) to reduce the duration of a student's eligibility to recieve a Federal Pell Grant from 12 semesters or 18 quarters of FULL TIME enrollment. Duration may be prorated based on less than full-time enrollment, but cannot exceed 600%. This provision applies to all Federal Pell Grant eligible students effective with the 2012-13 award year. The calculation of the duration of a student's eligibility will include all years of the student's receipt of Federal Pell Grant funding. This change in the duration of students' Federal Pell Grant eligibility is not limited only to students who recieved their first Federal Pell Grant on or after the 2008-2009 award year, as the HEA previously provided when the duration of eligibility was 18 semesters.
