A Pell grant comes from the federal government and is not a loan because it does not have to be repaid. It is only given to undergraduates who have not finished a bachelor’s degree or a professional degree. However, you can also receive a Pell grant for attending a post-baccalaureate teacher certification program.
The amount of the grant depends on your family income, the cost of your schooling, and whether you are attending full-time or part-time. You can get one Pell grant every year you are in enrolled in an undergraduate program.
