Lifetime Pell Eligibility Acknowledgement
Pell Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU)Effective July 1, 2012, students are limited to a lifetime maximum Pell Grant of 12 full time semesters / six years (600%) at any community college, vocational school or four year/bachelor program. Once you reach the 600% Pell LEU, you are ineligible for any additional Pell Grant. Log onto My Federal Student Aid (formerly NSLDS) using your FSA ID and view your LEU, found on the Financial Aid Review page. For more information: Federal Pell Grant
What this means for you: You must plan now for your future, especially if you plan to transfer to a four-year college for a Bachelor’s degree. The six-year limit is a lifetime limit, regardless of completion of your academic goals or Bachelor’s degree. This regulation is in effect even if you have had an appeal approved for failure to meet academic progress, it supersedes any prior offer of aid/award, and the Department of Education allows for no appeal or exception.
