Pell Grants

Nunez awards Federal Pell Grants to eligible undergraduate students based on their COA, EFC, and total percentage of Pell already received. The Pell Grant is initially based on full-time enrollment. The initial awards posted on LOLA are posted for the Pell grant amount for 12 hour enrollment. Once registration has been finalized, Pell Grants will be adjusted to reflect the correct Pell grant amount based on the actual number of hours enrolled. Students enrolled as undergraduates, but who have already received a bachelor’s degree, are not eligible for the Pell. More information about the Pell Grant is available on the StudentAid.gov website.
