Pell Grants Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students to help pay for their educa-tion. Unlike loans, Pell Grants do not have to be repaid. To be eligible, a stu-dent must be seeking their first undergraduate or professional degree. In addi-tion, the student must be attending college at least half time. If approved, the amount of the grant is determined by financial need. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be submitted to determine if the student qualifies for this free aid. Marines and their family members can apply for FAFSA online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ or obtain a FAFSA form from their prospective college. The form can also be obtained from MCCS Education Centers. For more information, contact your nearest Education Center or visit the Marine & Family Programs webpage at www.mccsokinawa.com.
