The total Pell Grant funding amount for the year 2014 is $31.1 billion. Broken down this means that for 2015, the maximum grant appropriation per student is $4,860, and the mandatory entitlement amount is $915 for a total of $5,775 for the year. These amounts are set through 2017 and, at this point, years beyond that are still estimations.
Pell Grants are federal grants for low-income students. Unlike most federal assistance, these grants do not need to be paid back. Pell grants were established in 1965, and in 2011 nearly $36 billion in grant aid was available to qualifying students. For the 2016-17 academic year, the maximum Pell Grant award is $5,815. To qualify for a Pell Grant, a student needs to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to learn what his or her expected family contribution (EFC) is. A student with a low EFC often qualifies for a Pell Grant. After submitting the FAFSA, students will be informed if they qualify for Pell Grants.
