奖助金
In the complex and sometimes intimidating world of financial assistance, “grant” is the one word every student and parent wants to hear. For those who qualify for and are awarded a grant, it is financial aid you won’t have to pay back so long as you live up to the terms of the grant.
Federal and state grants are available to CMU students both full- and part-time, 以及校内和校外(包括在线). 强烈建议尽早申请.
联邦拨款

联邦佩尔助学金
的 联邦佩尔助学金 is the foundation for all federal student financial aid. 的 Pell Grant program provides grants to undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need based on the results of their FAFSA application. Students are eligible for up to 12 semesters of Pell awards or 600% lifetime limit. 的 联邦佩尔助学金 award varies by student and is calculated based on their EFC (Expected Financial Contribution), 在提交FAFSA表格时计算. 的 Pell Grant is also dependent upon whether or not the student is enrolled full-time (12 credit hours or more), 三节课时(9-11学时), 中场休息(6-8学时), or less-than-half-time (less than 6 hours) in a semester.
夏天佩尔
的 federal government reinstated year-round Pell, which allows students to receive up to 150 percent of a regular grant award over the course of the academic year so that they can continue taking classes in the summer and finish their degrees faster than they would otherwise. In order to qualify for 夏天佩尔 Grant, a student must:
-
是否有当前的FAFSA档案
-
Have been eligible for the 联邦佩尔助学金 in the current academic year
-
Enroll in at least 6 hours for the summer semester* (see note below for more information)
-
取得令人满意的学业进展(SAP)
-

夏天佩尔 will not affect the amount of eligibility you receive over the course of your academic career as it counts towards the aforementioned 12 semesters or 600% lifetime limit used. As with Pell Grant for the fall or spring semesters, the amount received is based on the FAFSA and a student's EFC. It is recommended that you consult with the Office of Financial Assistance in order to determine your eligibility for the 联邦佩尔助学金 in the summer semester.
*NOTE: If you were NOT enrolled full-time in both the fall and spring semesters, you may qualify for 联邦佩尔助学金 even if you enroll less than 6 hours for the summer semester. 再一次。, it is recommended that you contact the Office of Financial Assistance to determine your eligibility for 夏天佩尔 Grant.
