The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 reauthorized the Higher Education Act of 1965 and included an important new provision allowing the awarding up to two maximum Scheduled Pell Grants to an individual student in the same aid year. The HEOA amended the Higher Education Act so that students can receive up to two maximum Scheduled Pell Grants in a single Aid year. This is sometimes referred to as “Year Round Pell”. KCTCS can now award two full Pell Grants consecutively (including Summer term), for any 12 month period.
How much Pell funds you receive will depend not only on your EFC, but also, on your cost of attendance and whether you are a full-time or part-time student. In addition to filing the FAFSA, institutional forms must be completed for the Summer term. These forms are available at your Student Aid Office. You may not receive Pell Grant funds from more than one college at a time even if you are enrolled at more than one college at a time. You must contact your college to request your college's written procedures on how Financial Aid funds are disbursed.
