Subject: 2017-2018 Award Year Maximum Pell Grant Announced. Yesterday, September 29, 2016, the White House announced that the maximum Pell Grant for the 2017-2018 award year will be $5,920. We plan to post the Pell Grant Payment and Disbursement Schedules to IFAP by the middle of October. Publication Date: 9/30/2016.
For the current academic yearâJuly 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015âthe maximum reward is $5,730; for 2015-2016, the maximum will be $5,840. You can receive the Pell Grant for no more than 12 semesters, or what would roughly be six years of full-time study. This is where the Pell Grant maximum and the âsix yearâ marker can be misleading. The award you receive represents 100% of your Pell Grant eligibility for that award year, regardless of the actual dollar amount you are granted. In other words, the lifetime maximum is based on the years enrolled and not in dollars. In total, each year is worth 100%, with a total of 600% lifetime maximum for each student. âIt doesnât go by total dollars, so if you get a maximum award of $5,730 this year, then you used 100%. If you had a grant last year, which was $5,645, then you also used 100%,â says Hans Hanson, founder of Total College Advisory, based in Fairfield County, Connecticut.
