Federal Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grant
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as FAFSA, is used to determine your eligibility for Federal financial aid.
After you complete your FAFSA, you will receive a summary with your Expected Family Contribution. Enter that amount, commonly called the EFC, below to calculate the estimated amount of Pell Grant for which you may qualify. You may also qualify for other types of grants that are not included in this tool.
Because you indicated you have transfer credits, please be aware the Pell Grant amount for which you are eligible may be reduced.
This is not your financial aid award. Financial aid may only be calculated after admission to UMGC and submission of your FAFSA. Your financial aid award is recalculated annually after submission of your FAFSA.
Your estimated Pell Grant amount represents the total amount that you may receive for this type of grant over the entirety of your program. Your estimated Pell Grant is based on the current Pell Grant amount published by the Department of Education, which changes each academic year. This estimate is also based on the EFC you provided and assumes your EFC remains the same each year; however, your EFC is required to be recalculated each academic year when your FAFSA is submitted.
In addition, the Pell Grant amount is estimated without consideration of your prior grant history, which may reduce your actual Pell Grant amount, if any. If you previously received Pell Grants, you may no longer be eligible or may receive an award that is less than the estimated amount. The National Student Loan Data System has information about your Pell Grant history and loan balance for all institutions attended. You will need your Federal PIN to log in to the NSLDS.
You must meet the university's requirements for satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible for financial aid. Please be aware your actual financial aid award will be impacted if you are concurrently enrolled in another institution and receive Federal financial aid at that school.
Federal grants can be used for your tuition, fees, course materials, living expenses, and more. They are need-based financial awards that do not have to repaid.
You may qualify for other types of Federal grants and loans. Learn more about the FAFSA.
The program you selected is not eligible for a Pell Grant. You may qualify for other types of grants that are not included in this tool.

Please note that Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits are applied to the remaining balance after other tuition funding sources, including military Tuition Assistance and scholarships, are applied.
If you are a University System of Maryland employee or qualifying family member, you may also wish to include USM tuition remission.
