For the 2019-20 award year (July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020), the Federal Pell Grant is an annual award up to $6,195 and is usually given to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. In some cases however, a student enrolled in a postbaccalaureate teacher certification program might receive a Federal Pell Grant. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid.

Occasionally you might have to pay back part or all of a grant if, for example, you withdraw from school before finishing an enrollment period such as a semester.
